• Title: Why Bohr was wrong in his response to EPR
• Authors: Aur\'elien Drezet
• Abstract summary: We explicitly describe Bohr's gedanken experiment involving a double-slit moving diaphragm interacting with two independent particles. We propose a different protocol correcting Bohr's version that confirms the EPR dilemma: Quantum mechanics is either incomplete or non-local.

• Abstract: We assess the analysis made by Bohr in 1935 of the Einstein Podolsky Rosen paradox/theorem. We explicitly describe Bohr's gedanken experiment involving a double-slit moving diaphragm interacting with two independent particles and show that the analysis provided by Bohr was flawed. We propose a different protocol correcting Bohr's version that confirms EPR dilemma: Quantum mechanics is either incomplete or non-local.

  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.

• Bohr and von Neumann on the Universality of Quantum Mechanics: Materials for the History of the Quantum Measurement Process [0.0]
  The Bohr and von Neumann views on the measurement process in quantum mechanics have been interpreted for a long time in somewhat controversial terms. I would like to show that, contrary to a widespread opinion, their views should be taken less inconsistent, and much closer to each other, than usually thought. I claim that Bohr and von Neumann are conceptually on the same side on the issue of the universality of quantum mechanics.

• 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.

  The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox that argues for the incompleteness of quantum mechanics as a description of physical reality has been put to rest by John Bell's famous theorem. We discuss several variants of the Bell inequalities and explore the ways in which they demolish the arguments in favor of local hidden-variable theories. We also examine the roots of Feynman's attitude toward Bell's theorem in the context of Feynman's special perspective on quantum mechanics.

  We present two alternative perspectives for the resolution of Hawking's information puzzle in black hole evaporation. One of them is the central role played by the existence of the interior singularity that we expect to be replaced by a more fundamental quantum gravity formulation. Both views rely on the notion that the standard effective quantum field theoretic perspective would require some deep modifications.

  One of the few clear patterns in a 2013 survey about quantum foundations was that the physicists who believed Bohr to be correct were apt to say that Einstein had been wrong. Not every episode in this long story has been investigated equally. One late statement attributed to Bohr has received much more intense examination than Einstein's equally pithy reply.

• External and internal wave functions: de Broglie's double-solution theory? [77.34726150561087]
  We propose an interpretative framework for quantum mechanics corresponding to the specifications of Louis de Broglie's double-solution theory. The principle is to decompose the evolution of a quantum system into two wave functions. For Schr"odinger, the particles are extended and the square of the module of the (internal) wave function of an electron corresponds to the density of its charge in space.
