... and postselect in (X - Y) + B, you know the particle was in B. But this is the same as preparing (B + Y) + X and postselecting (B - Y) + X, which means you also know the particle was in X. If P(B) = 1 and P(X) = 1, where was the particle really? But back up: is there any physical sense in which this ...
