Comment on "Quantum coherence between mass eigenstates of a neutrino cannot be destroyed by its mass-momentum entanglement"

Abstract

In arXiv:2410.21850, I proved that the quantum coherence between the mass eigenstates of a neutrino will be destroyed if they are correlated with different momenta. In arXiv:2411.01190, James M. Cline claimed that I had made the unrealistic assumption that the neutrino is always in a nearly exact energy eigenstate, and ignored the spatial dependence of the wavefunction in my paper. However, I did not assume that the neutrino is in a nearly exact eigenstate of energy anywhere in my paper, and the wavefunction I wrote in the position representation has a spatial dependence. The argumentation of arXiv:2411.01190 is based on misinterpreting my claim, and on ignoring the critical fact that the neutrino's wavepacket has a finite size and the detector has a large volume.
