I think of the Past Hypothesis as "entropy was low at the beginning of our observable universe.” It's definitely true, but it would be great if we could *derive* it without explicitly violating time symmetry, rather than simply postulating it.https://twitter.com/PhilSciArchive/status/1083832934618951680 …
For instance if you start in a position eigenstate, let it evolve in time, and then measure the momentum.. there’s no reason why you can’t run time backwards and go from a p to an x eigenstate instead.. they are both valid physical processes

Do there are valid physical process which instantaneously change a particle from an eigenstate into a superposition state?
-
one could say when you measure the position then it’s “instantaneously” in a superposition or eigenstates
