... Why? No interference between paths leading to different frequencies at the detectors, because in principle one could go back and measure how much energy had been absorbed. Note: it took a long time-integral to enforce this. If the detector had been open only for 1 fs, it would be impossible to tell ...

... 1. Even within a particle-like interpretation of the experiment, particles do not have predictable positions and momenta along the paths. The reason for this is that the paths, themselves, are not predictable by any rule as they are in classical mechanics! 2. If we could devise an experiment for mea ...

Quantum electrodynamics
In particle physics, quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the relativistic quantum field theory of electrodynamics. In essence, it describes how light and matter interact and is the first theory where full agreement between quantum mechanics and special relativity is achieved. QED mathematically describes all phenomena involving electrically charged particles interacting by means of exchange of photons and represents the quantum counterpart of classical electromagnetism giving a complete account of matter and light interaction.In technical terms, QED can be described as a perturbation theory of the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. Richard Feynman called it ""the jewel of physics"" for its extremely accurate predictions of quantities like the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron and the Lamb shift of the energy levels of hydrogen.
