Quote: a filter for a different set of quantum-mechanical base states removes the history about previous filters

Quotation Skeleton

Let's now go back and see what happens … different filter [in a Stern-Gerlach apparatus]. … The past information [about the quantum mechanical state] is not lost by … [one for each base state], but by the blocking masks that are put in [to select a particular state]--as we can see by the following set of experiments. We … it. If we follow this be a 0T … .alpha.N. If we then put another +S filter, … Now suppose we repeat these two experiments but … [p. 5-10] All the atoms get through [two +S filters and the T apparatus without masks], but none [get through if a +S filter is replaced with a 0S filter].   Google-1   Google-2
