• Abstract: A recent criticism by Kunstatter et al. [Phys. Lett. A 384, 126686 (2020)] of a quantum setup violating the pigeon counting principle [Aharonov et al. PNAS 113, 532 (2016)] is refuted. The quantum nature of the violation of the pigeonhole principle with pre- and postselection is clarified.

  We study the celebrated virial theorem for dissipative systems, both classical and quantum. The non-Markovian nature of the quantum noise leads to novel bath-induced terms in the virial theorem. We also consider the case of an electrical circuit with thermal noise and analyze the role of non-Markovian noise in the context of the virial theorem.

• Apparent quantum paradoxes as simple interference: Quantum violation of the pigeonhole principle and exchange of properties between quantum particles [0.0]
  The pigeonhole principle, which states that if three pigeons are put into two pigeonholes then at least one pigeonhole must contain more than one pigeon, is violated in quantum systems. Here we describe proposals and experiments as simple quantum interference effects, where no dramatic conclusions appear. We also present physical insights for some interesting behaviors present in these treatments.

  We show that in the mathematical framework of the quantum theory the classical pigeonhole principle can be violated more directly than previously suggested.

• Escape from the Quantum Pigeon Conundrum [52.77024349608834]
  The Pigeon Counting Principle (PCP) states that if one distributes three pigeons among two boxes there must be at least two pigeons in one of the boxes. Here we prove via a set of operator identities that the PCP is not violated within quantum mechanics, regardless of interpretation.
