... According to quantum mechanics, events that might have occurred can have actual physical effects, even though they do not in fact occur (1). What has been termed as an interaction-free measurement (2–4) is a typical example of such striking counterfactual phenomena: the presence of an object can be ...

Part (a): Matrix Elements
... In the case of a massive photon, a few things change from of the sum over polarization vectors to the sum of the Mandelstam variables. We note that the sum over polarization vectors goes to 3 instead of 2 and there is now a term that is porportional to the photon momenta over m2γ . However, when tak ...
