QUANTUM COUNTERFACTUALS: INTERACTION-FREE MEASUREMENTS AND CLASSICAL LOGIC’S CONSTRAINTS (pages 455-477)

Carmen SÁNCHEZ-OVCHAROV, Karim GHERAB-MARTÍN, J.A.F. CUESTA ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to carry out a critical analysis of the uses of the material conditionals employed to represent the counterfactual detections taking place inside Elitzur-Vaidman quantum bomb detectors in so-called quantum interaction free measurements (IFMs). We provide an exhaustive philosophical study of this classical approach focusing on its limitations. …
