    "abstract": "John Wheeler devised a gedanken experiment in which a piece of apparatus can\nbe altered just before the arrival of particle, and this ``delayed choice\u0027\u0027\ncan, seemingly, alter the quantum state of the particle at a much earlier time,\nlong before the choice is made.\n  A slightly different gedanken experiment, which exhibits the same conceptual\ndifficulty, is analyzed using the techniques of consistent history quantum\ntheory. The idea that the future influences the past disappears when proper\naccount is taken of the diversity of possible quantum descriptions of the\nworld, and their mutual compatibility or incompatibility.",
