Can someone explain how Hardy's Paradox is resolved? As well, what could someone infer from this regarding both Copenhagen Interpretation and Bohm's theory?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Hardy's paradox is resolved by realizing that measurement CHANGES the properties of the system. In the Copenhagen interpretation the measurement creates the properties (which before the measurement do not even exist), while in Bohm's theory the properties are changed by instantaneous influences between distant particles.

For more details, see e.g. Secs 5.5 and 5.6 in

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
