Abstract
In a recent paper [quant-ph/0607008] Lapaire and Sipe argue that one can discuss interference experiments using entangled photons in terms of single photon wave functions. Furthermore, they argue that contrary to the claim of the authors of the postponed compensation experiment [2], the single photon wave functions overlap on the beam splitter when interference is observed. In this comment, we show that the claim in [2] is correct and we argue that the idea of single photon wave functions in entangled states is misleading.
