What's more, theory suggests that in some cases, swapping the anyons back again does not restore their original wavefunction. (scientificamerican.com)
Physicists do agree completely about how to use wavefunctions to predict the results of measurements, sometimes with extraordinary precision and accuracy. (scientificamerican.com)
When interference occurs, each particle's wavefunction includes parts corresponding to the particle going each way, much like the way that a classical wave that interferes has parts going both ways. (scientificamerican.com)
