• Abstract: We present the general Hardy-like quantum pigeonhole paradoxes for \textit{n}-particle states, and find that each of such paradoxes can be simply associated to an un-colorable solution of a specific vertex-coloring problem induced from the projected-coloring graph (a kind of unconventional graph). Besides, as a special kind of Hardy's paradox, several kinds of Hardy-like quantum pigeonhole paradoxes can even give rise to higher success probability in demonstrating the conflict between quantum mechanics and local or noncontextual realism than the previous Hardy's paradoxes. Moreover, not only multi-qubit states, but high-dimensional states can exhibit the paradoxes. In contrast to only one type of contradiction presented in the original quantum pigeonhole paradox, two kinds of three-qubit projected-coloring graph states as the minimal illustration are discussed in our work, and an optical experiment to verify such stronger paradox is performed. This quantum paradox provides innovative thoughts and methods in exploring new types of stronger multi-party quantum nonlocality and may have potential applications in multi-party untrusted communications and device-independent random number generation.

  Storing quantum information requires battling quantum decoherence, which results in a loss of information over time. To achieve error-resistant quantum memory, one would like to store the information in a quantum superposition of degenerate states engineered in such a way that local sources of noise cannot change one state into another. We show that this platform also allows to detect and correct certain types of errors en route to the goal of true error-resistant quantum memory.

• Generalized Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering Paradox [18.5699135339787]
  We present a generalized EPR steering paradox, which predicts a contradictory equality $2_Q=left( 1+deltaright)_C$. We test the paradox through a two-setting steering protocol, and find that the state is steerable if some specific measurement requirements are satisfied. Our construction also enlightens the building of EPR steering inequality, which may contribute to some schemes for typical quantum teleportation and quantum key distributions.

  We give two generalizations of Hardy's arguments for manifesting such a paradox to an arbitrary, but symmetric Bell scenario. One can be naturally interpreted as a demonstration of the failure of transitivity of implications. A special case of which is equivalent to a ladder-proof-type argument for Hardy's paradox.
