Hi Louis,

Welcome to the frustrating world of Quantum Physics and its measurement problem.
In the opening post of this thread I described my version of the GHZ states (special coins) but pointed out that no peeking was allowed. This wasn’t a trivial note. The nature of Quantum Physics is very strict on the no-peeking rule.
Experimenters have been trying to catch particles in the act of going through two slits in superposition for decades. They have tried every non-evasive trick in the book with no luck. They have even tried waiting until after the particles have already gone through the slits and it didn’t work. Google “wheeler quantum delayed choice” and browse the entries.
We are building quantum computers and secured communication devices on the presumption that superposition is a reality even though we have never had it “show up” on countless experimental attempts to get it to do so.
I will attempt in the future to provide further explanations of Hameroff’s description of how tubulin dimers are kept isolated. However, real life is keeping me quite busy lately.
