Okay. I actually thought the paradox was that wave collapses only if the photon is influenced by measurement activity but I’s been a while since I was reading up on this topic so I may need a refresher.

I suppose if we can calculate exactly how a given force would influence a photon, that would be essentially the same as “measuring” it.

Turns out you need to run your quantum computer in near-zero-kelvin conditions to avoid accidental 'observations' from collapsing the precious waves you're using to factorize the number 6.
