Abstract

Recent experiments with identically tuned nested Mach-Zehnder interferometers which attempted to observe the location of particles inside these interferometers are analyzed. In spite of claims to the contrary, it is argued that all experiments support the same surprising picture according to which the location of the particles inside the interferometers is not described by continuous trajectories.
