Reply to L.Vaidman's comment on "Asking photons where they have been in plain language"

Quantum Physics 2017-04-10 v1

Abstract

Vaidman's analysis of the photon's past is based on incorrect interpretation of quantum probability amplitudes. The confusion stems from his original work [{\it Phys. Rev. Lett.} \textbf{60}, 1351 (1988)], which missed the connection between the amplitudes and the "weak values" introduced therein.
