Quantum Superpositions using PHOT by camtech56
It turns out that seperation of two or more wavelengths of photon in a prism can act as a way of randomly seperating said wavelengths. FILT addition puts two sets of wavelengths in superposition, and the prism resolves them randomly.

Novice is completely correct: there is no mystery here, nor superposition. Thank you for explaining that in detail. Unfortunately, TPT does not have a lot of quantum mechanics. If you want to see the most quantum mechanic-like phenomenon, see funky3000's hydrogen splitting saves. -

Sorry for the wall of text -
NoVIcE 3rd Aug 2018So in real life there should be 2 different photons on the same place moving at the same speed, and just because of dispersion, the photon with lower frequency refracts less than the other one, and looks seperated. No particles are created or divided though. Its just TPT that chooses to represent complex light as 1 photon, rather to stack 30 or so in one place.

NoVIcE 3rd Aug 2018Sorry to disappoint you but its not superposition. Actually in real life there isnt a photon that is made out of 2 different wavelengths, that is complex light, one that is made out of multiple photons of different wavelength (multiple 1-band wide worth of TPT light), and thus its not a property of 1 particle, its just 2 photons (the second one is created in TPT spontaneously by OR-ing with the filt).
