Classical three-box paradox

K A Kirkpatrick

A simple classical probabilistic system (a simple card game) classically exemplifies Aharonov and Vaidman's ‘three-box ‘paradox’’ (1991 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 24 2315 ), implying that the three-box example is neither quantal nor a paradox and leaving one with less difficulty to busy the interpreters of quantum mechanics. An ambiguity in the usual expression of the retrodiction formula is shown to have misled Albert et al (1985 Phys. Rev. Lett. 54 5) to a result not, in fact, ‘curious’; the discussion illustrates how to avoid this ambiguity.

Curious New Statistical Prediction of Quantum Mechanics

David Z. Albert, Yakir Aharonov, Susan S. D’Amato

Whether quantum mechanical systems, within the interval between two measurements, can be assigned definite, simultaneous values of noncommuting observables has been the subject of a very old dispute. A certain widely held assumption about such systems has been crucial to that dispute. That assumption turns out to be wrong: A previously unknown prediction of quantum mechanics, which fails to satisfy that assumption, is described here, and the consequences of that failure are considered.
