So which of the two was used in Smoke and Mirrors?
   Neither. The Nanban Mirror, being magic, doesn't have to be logical, or
obey quantum physics.
   So there. :)

Nagisa @bap's Mike around with a few quantum states.

Wing is a bit more practical and just @bap's him with whatever is on 
hand, which just so happens to be... a bunch of quantum states. Oh well...

"Something in hitch Hiker's guide to the galaxy had said something like:

1) How does time travel work?
2) How does it work?  Well, envision a large tube with a stop on the 
bottom of it.
1) Oaky...
2) Now, imagine it filled with sand.
1) So that's the Universe?
2) Er... that's a tub full of sand.
1) Oh... okay.
2) Now.. get a camera to film the sand as you pull out the stopper at the 
bottom of the tub.  The swirling sand will be recorded as it leaves the tub.
1) Hmm...
2) Now, get the film out and place it back in after reversing it.  So 
now, when you play it, the sand is swirling and filling up the tub.
1) So that's how you travel back in time?
2) Er... no.  That's just very relaxing to watch.
