The founders of quantum physics used to analyze “thought experiments” in order to discuss the concepts of superposition, complementarity and entanglement which govern the world at the microscopic scale. They considered such experiments with single electrons, atoms or photons to be out of practical reach, and would be surprised to see that today these thought experiments are performed in...
