You would see a different state. Quantum mechanics is random. It is possible that there is hidden state that determines the outcome, but there is Bell's Theorem that limits local hidden state and it has been tested by experiment.
- koakuma-chan 2y agoI define deterministic as only having one possible outcome, predictable or not. Here is a proof that quantum mechanics is deterministic: Let there be a time `t`. Let there be a qubit `q`. At the time of `t`, we measured the qubit `q`, and the qubit `q` collapsed to the state of `a`. At the time of `t`, we measured the qubit `q`, and the qubit `q` collapsed to the state of `b`. `a` equals `b`. Quantum mechanics is deterministic.
- ianburrell 2y agoI think you just assumed the result. With quantum mechanics, a and b will be different if could rollback time. Or if made the same measurement with the exact same state. Quantum mechanics is indeterminate and probabilistic. Some of the most brilliant physicists like von Neumann and Bell, who won the Nobel Prize for this work, have proved it. Unless you have something that will win the Nobel Prize, your intuition is wrong. Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_indeterminacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_indeterminacy
