• Abstract: This paper provides an algebraic reconstruction of Einstein's own argument for the incompleteness of quantum mechanics -- the one that he thought did not make it into the EPR paper -- in order to clarify the assumptions that underlie an understanding of Einstein completeness as categoricity, the sense in which it is a type of descriptive completeness, and some of the various ways in which it has been more often misconstrued.

• 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.

• Rules and Meaning in Quantum Mechanics [0.0]
  It pursues an investigation at an intersection of the philosophy of physics and the philosophy of semantics. It offers a critical analysis of rival explanations of the semantic facts of standard QM. New results include 1) a reconstruction of Einstein's incompleteness argument, which concludes that a local, separable, and categorical QM cannot exist.

• The physics and metaphysics of the conceptuality interpretation of quantum mechanics [0.0]
  It has been argued that the difficulty in understanding quantum theory is our failed attempt to force onto it a wrong conceptual scheme. Many thinkers have suggested that we must surrender to the fact that our physical world is one of immanent powers and potencies. However, if on the one hand a potentiality puts the accent on the processes of change, responsible for the incessant shifts between actual and potential properties, on the other hand it does not tell what these changes are all about.

  The concept of quantum entanglement is typically not covered at all in introductory physics textbooks. We resolve this trilemma in precisely the same way that Einstein resolved the mysteries of time dilation and length contraction. Our principle account of quantum entanglement is even based on the same principle Einstein used.

  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 Mechanical description of Bell's experiment assumes Locality [91.3755431537592]
  Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality. This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment. It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.
