Interested in doing some "light" refereeing of easy articles?

Hi-I am v:User:Guy vandegrift and I just created Wikiversity:Second Journal of Science in an effort to get students to submit ideas for articles that can be used directly in the classroom. I am focusing primarily on introductory college courses and need a physics referee, which is ironic because I am a physics prof. But my rule is that each article needs to be looked at by two reviewers, and I am the only physics prof at our small college. If it's a biology article, I can review it for clarity and show it to our resident biology prof for accuracy. But I have nobody else to show it to if it's a physics or astronomy submission.

Let me explain why this is "light" reviewing that won't be hard

First, I won't send you a submission unless I like it. If I vote it down, it's not in the journal.
Second, I am looking for clear simple articles on stuff you already probably know. If you don't get it immediately, reject!
Third, since I am not paying you, I won't work you harder than you want. Consider doing just enough to put this service on your resume.

Question about Elitzur-Vaidman bomb tester/MZ interferometer

Thanks for your contributions! I hope you can clear this up for me. In regard to the above experiment:

If the bomb is a dud, can there ever be no photon detected at either detector?

In other words, if the bomb is a dud, and the photon remains in its superposition until it reaches the end of both the lower and upper paths and the second half-silvered mirror, can it interfere with itself destructively, resulting in no detection? Or does it always interfere with itself constructively, resulting in a detection at one of the detectors, but never the other one?

Thanks again. Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 02:03, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
