Abstract: I numerically simulate and compare the entanglement of two quanta using the conventional formulation of quantum mechanics and a time-symmetric formulation that has no collapse postulate. The experimental predictions of the two formulations are identical, but the entanglement predictions are significantly different. The time-symmetric formulation reveals an experimentally testable discrepancy in the original quantum analysis of the Hanbury Brown-Twiss experiment, suggests solutions to some parts of the nonlocality and measurement problems, fixes known time asymmetries in the conventional formulation, and answers Bell's question "How do you convert an 'and' into an 'or'?'"

Measuring the Evolution of Entanglement in Compton Scattering [101.11630543545151]
The behavior of quantum entanglement during scattering is identical to the behavior of initially classically correlated photons up to a constant factor equal to two. Our dedicated experiment with photons confirms these results and explains the "Puzzle of Decoherence" observed recently.

We find that recent time symmetric interpretations of quantum mechanics fail to respect event symmetry. We then use this model to resolve conceptual paradoxes with time symmetric quantum mechanics within an all-at-once', atemporal picture.

We investigate false vacuum decay of a relativistic scalar field in the metastable minimum of an asymmetric double-well potential. We employ the non-perturbative framework of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) quantum effective action at next-to-leading order in a large-N expansion.

Can the double-slit experiment distinguish between quantum interpretations? [0.0]
There are various predictions for joint distribution of particle detection events on a screen which are derived from different formulations and interpretations of the quantum theory. Although the differences are typically small, our studies show that these predictions can be experimentally distinguished by an unconventional double-slit configuration. This experiment would enrich our understanding of the foundations of quantum mechanics.

Certified Quantumness via Single-Shot Temporal Measurements [0.0]
Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem states that a non-contextual hidden- variable theory cannot reproduce predictions of quantum mechanics. Asher Peres gave a simple proof of quantum contextuality in a four-dimensional Hilbert space of two spin-1/2 particles. We present a similar proof in time with a temporal version of the Peres-like argument.

Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.
