Abstract

It is shown that discrete-event simulation accurately reproduces the experimental data of a single-neutron interferometry experiment \[T. Denkmayr {\sl et al.}, Nat. Commun. 5, 4492 (2014)\] and provides a logically consistent, paradox-free, cause-and-effect explanation of the quantum Cheshire cat effect without invoking the notion that the neutron and its magnetic moment separate. Describing the experimental neutron data using weak-measurement theory is shown to be useless for unravelling the quantum Cheshire cat effect.
