Are you aware of the Paul-Pavicic "bomb" detector?

I did not know this. Impressive.
It is most easily thought of as non-local in time.
I will have to think about that. If you can elaborate. I think I intuit what you are
saying, but well, I need to work more on this.
Intuitively a photon is encouraged to enter the detector because it is in resonance with
an earlier instance of itself that is already circulating in the detector. The experiment
has not actually been done; but I think it would not work if you determined the time of
emission of the photon to a precision on the order of the circulation time in the detector.

Also, I always try to figure out those strange quantum behavior in the MW picture, and I
don't see well non-locality in time in that way, but I have to (and I am) revive my
quantum mode of thinking!
Thanks for the link,
Bruno
