A Time-Symmetric Resolution of the Einstein's Boxes Paradox

TL;DR

This paper presents a time-symmetric approach to quantum mechanics that resolves Einstein's Boxes paradox, contrasting it with the Copenhagen interpretation and proposing an experiment to distinguish between the two.

Contribution

It introduces a time-symmetric formulation of quantum mechanics that addresses the paradox and offers a method to experimentally test the differences.

Findings

Time-symmetric formulation resolves the paradox

Proposed experiment can distinguish formulations

Supports Einstein and de Broglie's views

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.
