Abstract

This work examines the well-known delayed choice Quantum Eraser experiment carried out by Kim et al in 2000 from the standpoint of Classical Physics. I've drawn a diagram of the experiment's setup. I show that the experiment's outcome can be explained using Classical Physics, and that it does not require "spooky action at a distance" owing to entangled particles, as Einstein famously put it, nor events changing the past due to the experiment's delayed choice feature.
