what happed to the other, if one entangled particle is "destroyed"
if one entangled particle is "destroyed"
what is the state of the OTHER particle?
Situation 1
two entangled particles, A and B(assume have mass).
if A is "destroyed", say it hit a wall :).
What happen to the B's momentum and location?
Situation 2
two entangled photons, A and B.
if A is "destroyed", assume photoelectric effect.
What happen to the other photon's spin? Would B return to NO SPIN? Keep its spin? or other results?
In a word,
Is "destruction" considered as some-sort-of "measurement"?
Does the wave function, in a destruction, collapse the same way as in a measurement?
What is the mathematical operator for "destruction"(if it is considered as a measurement)?
