Abstract
This paper challenges the conjecture that counterfactual communication is impossible, even for post-selected quantum states. The authors propose a counterfactual scheme where none of Alice's photons contributing to her information about Bob's message have interacted with Bob. They demonstrate this experimentally using weak measurements and conceptually using consistent histories, achieving a fidelity arbitrarily close to unity.
