No, I'm not asking that, actually. I'm asking if you collapse one of an entangled pair, is the other collapsed likewise? Let's say I have an entangled pair of photons, and one goes off to chamber A, which has detectors in front of a double slit, and one goes to chamber B, which doesn't have detectors, will chamber A show a dual stripe and chamber B show an interference pattern? Or will one photon's "waviness" or "particleness," which result from the observation or lack of it, automatically force the other particle either to act as a particle or a wave as well, with regards to the interference pattern that results?
Okay, it's kind of like what you said. But what I'm really asking is whether the collapse of one wave function of an entangled pair auto-collapses its entangled partner.
