    "abstract": "The realization of Karl Popper\u0027s experiment by Shih and Kim (published 1999)\nproduced the result that Popper hoped for: no ``action at a distance\u0027\u0027 on one\nphoton of an entangled pair when a measurement is made on the other photon.\nThis experimental result is interpretable in local realistic terms: each photon\nhas a definite position and transverse momentum most of the time; the position\nmeasurement on one photon (localization in a slit) disturbs the transverse\nmomentum of that photon in a non-predictable way in accordance with the\nuncertainty principle; however, there is no effect on the other photon (the\nphoton that is not in a slit) no action at a distance. The position measurement\n(localization within a slit) of the one photon destroys the coherence\n(entanglement) between the photons; i.e. decoherence occurs. This can be\nunderstood physically as an electromagnetic interaction between the photon in\nthe slit and the electrons of the atoms in the surface of the solid that forms\nthe slit.",
