Abstract: The Einstein's Boxes paradox was developed by Einstein, de Broglie, Heisenberg, and others to demonstrate the incompleteness of the Copenhagen Formulation of quantum mechanics. I explain the paradox using the Copenhagen Formulation.~I then show how a time-symmetric formulation of quantum mechanics resolves the paradox in the way envisioned by Einstein and de Broglie. Finally, I describe an experiment that can distinguish between these two formulations.

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering paradox "2=1'' for $N$ qubits [16.688291626259435]
EPR paradox highlights the absence of a local realistic explanation for quantum mechanics. We show that the contradiction holds for any $N$-qubit state as long as both the pure state requirement and the measurement requirement are satisfied.

Quantifying non-Hermiticity using single- and many-particle quantum properties [14.37149160708975]
The non-Hermitian paradigm of quantum systems displays salient features drastically different from Hermitian counterparts. We propose a formalism that quantifies the (dis-)similarity of these right and left ensembles, for single- as well as many-particle quantum properties. Our findings can be instrumental in unveiling new exotic quantum phases of non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems.

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.

Time-Symmetric Resolutions of the Renninger Negative-Result Paradoxes [0.0]
The 1953 and 1960 Renninger negative-result thought experiments illustrate conceptual paradoxes in the Copenhagen formulation of quantum mechanics. I resolve both of these paradoxes by using a time-symmetric formulation of quantum mechanics.

The time traveler's guide to the quantization of zero modes [0.0]
We study the relationship between the quantization of a massless scalar field on the two-dimensional Einstein cylinder and in a spacetime with a time machine. We find that the latter picks out a unique prescription for the state of the zero mode in the Einstein cylinder.

The Time-Evolution of States in Quantum Mechanics [77.34726150561087]
It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events. A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.

Quantum erasing the memory of Wigner's friend [0.0]
Wigner's friend paradox concerns one of the most puzzling problems of quantum mechanics. At the core of the paradox lies the description of an observer and the object it measures as a closed system obeying the Schr"odinger equation. We argue that the three apparently incompatible properties used to question the consistency of quantum mechanics correspond to two logically distinct contexts.

Quantum time dilation: A new test of relativistic quantum theory [91.3755431537592]
A novel quantum time dilation effect is shown to arise when a clock moves in a quantum superposition of two relativistic velocities. This effect is argued to be measurable using existing atomic interferometry techniques, potentially offering a new test of relativistic quantum theory.

Bohmian mechanics of Klein-Gordon equation via quantum metric and mass [0.0]
The causal interpretation of relativistic quantum mechanics has the problems of superluminal velocities, motion backward in time and the incorrect non-relativistic limit. We introduce simultaneous quantum mass and quantum metric of curved spacetime to obtain a correct relativistic theory free of mentioned problems.
