On Interaction Free Testing and Photon Divisibility

Authors: Georgina Woodward

Informed by the results of double slit experiments and experiments involving half silvered mirrors, photon divisibility is proposed. The nature of the divided parts is given as well as terminology for describing and identifying the different parts. The photon parts are used to explain the outcomes of the Elitzur-Vaidman bomb tester experiment. It is concluded that: The photon splitting proposition can be used for prediction and explanation. As a viable alternative to use of superposition. Explaining experimentally observed outcomes of similar scenarios using detectors other than bombs. Interaction free detection is a misnomer. As this result relies upon the sub photon member being taken out of ‘circulation’ at the bomb. (An interaction). So it can not reunite and interfere. That enabling the chance of detection by detector D.
