since erasure of which-way can "restore" the entangled photons back to the "wave-state"
can we conclude that the information (of the wave state stays) even during collapse?or let me explain via double slit
if we get which-way...we can expect disappearance of interference pattern
however if we erase which-way we can expect appearance of interference pattern...
now if we again get which-way...we can put the photon back in the "which-way path"
thus we have to choice to ability to keep switching the photon between "which-way path" to
"no-which-way" path...it we retain the ablity to change the photon path and "striking position" on the detector (anytime prior to strike/detection)this would seem to suggest that the photon carriers both path (blob, int pattern) info (wave/no-wave forces) at all times...
in other words (and this is just imaginary since we don't know exactly what happens)
we can move/shift the photon's path...such that it would fall inside the fringes (int pattern) or make a blob (which-way)
