New Theories / In this thought experiment would the wave function ''collapse'' ?
« on: 03/06/2022 13:43:25 »
In the diagram there is two volumes of space , one is labelled volume one that has x amount of energy and one is labelled volume two that has no energy . Between the volumes is a void that is also absense of all energy .
In this thought experiment we are going to transfer energy from volume one to volume two as labelled with the arrow of direction .
My question is , will the wave function collapse because any energy passing through the void , may be conserved by the void ?

Usefull note : ''The name comes from Zeno's arrow paradox, which states that because an arrow in flight is not seen to move during any single instant, it cannot possibly be moving at all.[note 1] The first rigorous and general derivation of the quantum Zeno effect was presented in 1974 by Degasperis, Fonda, and Ghirardi,[5] although it had previously been described by Alan Turing.[6] The comparison with Zeno's paradox is due to a 1977 article by George Sudarshan and Baidyanath Misra.[1]
According to the reduction postulate, each measurement causes the wavefunction to collapse to an eigenstate of the measurement basis. In the context of this effect, an observation can simply be the absorption of a particle, without the need of an observer in any conventional sense.''
