Abstract

The arguments presented in the criticism of our work suffer from the same mistakes that we have denounced. That is, the confusion of quantum indeterminacies with experimental uncertainties. We mention another example of how this type of argument can lead to wrong results and we show other weaknesses of the debate.

Reply to the Comment "Past of a quantum particle and weak measurement"

Lev Vaidman A

Misinterpretation in the preceding Comment of my recent analysis of the past of a photon is corrected. There is nothing in this analysis which is "contrary to the usual quantum expectations" but, nevertheless, it does provide "further understanding and interpretation of the system considered". In particular, it teaches us that the naive common sense argument frequently used in the literature including the Comment has to be abandoned.
