Abstract
AbstractAn interferometer in which all of its components are treated as quantum bodies is examined with the standard interpretation and with a model in which its uncoupled spatially separated components act collectively. These models utilize superposition principles that differ when applied to systems composed of three or more bodies. Interferometric discrepancies between these models that involve frequency shifts and recoil are shown to be difficult to measure. More pronounced differences involve quantum correlated interference. The collective model provides a missing connection between quantum and semiclassical theories. Scattering from an entangled state, which cannot be divided into disjoint parts, is proposed to involve such collective recoil. Collective scattering offers a viable supplement to the standard model, thereby providing insight into constructing tests of the superposition principle in systems with three or more bodies.
