Weak measurements, non-demolition measurements and interaction-free measurements vs. wave function collapse
The equations of motion of quantum theory such as the Schrodinger equation or any of the equations of quantum field theories such as QED don't imply and aren't consistent with wavefunction collapse. ...

How do I calculate the probability distribution of momentum assuming that my instrument has a small spatial extension?
One way to carry out this experiment and illustrate some quantum strangeness is diffraction through a pinhole. You take a laser and point it at a screen with a slit in it. Some light hits the screen. ...
