Can we tell if a particle has collapsed due to a measurement?
Suppose we have two electrons A and B.
My friend measure the spin on electron B the value is +1/2, and he writes on a piece of a paper the value.
Electron A has not been measured, so the spin is in ...

Decoherence/wave function collapse between entangled photon pair
If photon 1 and 2 are position entangled and they go in different directions, would making a measurement on photon 1 effect photon 2? If photon 1 is detected can photon 2 still create interference?

How is it possible that quantum phenomenons (e.g. superposition) are possible when all quantum particles are being constantly observed?
I don't understand how quantum mechanics (and therefore also quantum computers) can work given that while we work with quantum states, particles that this quantum state consist of cannot be observed, ...
