I’ve often wondered, after reading Nick Herbert’s Quantum Reality book (before he wandered off into the wasteland of ‘quantum consciousness’ and the like), whether they might someday be able to determine things a little more tightly than the Uncertainty Principle would have it by figuring out a way of determining the phase of some of the waveforms, somewhat like we can manage with normal radiation using comb filters.

The position wave is a spike, and probably not amenable to such treatment, but the momentum wave is a continuous wave.

I wonder how the entanglement “cheat” works…

Who would know better how to do it?
