It was aimed at measuring physico-chemical features of the redox couple such as half-wave and conditional standard potentials, diffusion coefficients and charge transfer rate constant in nitric acid medium.
Part of what is meant by this decoupling is that Ψ has a special form, what might be called an effective product form (similar to but more general than the superposition produced in an "ideal quantum measurement"), in which case the conditional wave function of the subsystem is also called its effective wave function.
This nonlocal effect upon the conditional wave function of particle 2 follows from combining the standard analysis of the evolution of the wave function in the EPR-Bohm experiment with the definition of the conditional wave function.
The nonlocality of Bohmian mechanics can be appreciated perhaps most efficiently, in all its aspects, by focusing on the conditional wave function.
It then follows immediately that the configuration of the subsystem obeys the guiding equation with the conditional wave function on its right-hand side.
Once this displacement has occurred (and is large enough) the conditional wave function for particle 2 will correspond to the term in the sum selected by the actual position of particle 1.
It is perhaps worth noting that orthodox quantum theory lacks the resources that make it possible to define the conditional wave function, namely, the actual configuration Y of the environment.
The key element here is the notion of the conditional wave function of a subsystem of a larger system, which we describe briefly in this section and that Dürr et al. 1992, Section 5, discuss in some detail, together with the related notion of the effective wave function.
via the time dependence of Y as well as that of Ψ, it is not difficult to see (Dürr et al. 1992) the following two things about the evolution of the conditional wave: First, that it obeys Schrödinger's equation for the subsystem when that system is suitably decoupled from its environment.
As to the future behavior of particle 2, in particular how its magnet affects it, this of course depends very much on the character of its conditional wave function and hence the choice of orientation of the distant magnet strongly influences it.
Of course the shorthand ( {t}_i^left tilde{x}right) ), which defines the saturation wave in the demand space, is conditional on ( {overline{t}}_i ).
