What if we create a situation in a lab that can be labelled as a collapse of the wave function by interaction with a macroscopic object. Except the macroscopic object is under our control and we can reverse the collapse.

A quantum computer is such a macroscopic state.



From the decoherence / Many-Worlds view: No collapse occurred. Only entanglement happened.
