15 - easy to fix. Regarding the first screenshot, we would need to change the detector element to only receive photons on one side.

Re other comments from the Explorable Explanations Slack user, I think highlighting the ket viewer and its options, rendered photon on hover in the hints section - that would all help understand what is happening with the photon on the board. Although I am not sure if we can (or should) do anything with this right now.

Also - at a later stage - changing the photon itself, the rendering can be improved.

One thread per issue at a time.

Detecting the direction of the beam would need some changes (these are on the way in quantum-tensors, as a part of more general measurement).

Also: do you have an idea of how to show a plant with light coming from a different angle?

Not sure if I understand what do you mean by showing a plant with light coming from a different angle. The photon getting to the plant from other direction than the mouth? I would leave it green, not affected, or with an outline only, but not "energized". Something like a mirror or beamsplitter absorbing the photon when placed not diagonally.

Currently we don't check for the direction of the photon to trigger the detection event. So the normal detector acts as a 4-way detector. This change has to be made in quantum-tensors elements.
