Macroscopic Observability of Fermionic Sign Changes: A Reply to Gill

Quantum Physics 2022-02-13 v7

Abstract

In a recent preprint [arXiv:1412.2677] Richard Gill has criticized an experimental proposal published in a journal of theoretical physics which describes how to detect a macroscopic signature of fermionic sign changes. Here I point out that Gill's worries stem from his own elementary algebraic and conceptual mistakes, and present several event-by-event numerical simulations which bring out his mistakes by explicit computations.
