Update of the shooting: a police officer was called to the scene and opened fire with suspect. Police officer was shot dead, police SUV is stolen. Automatic weaponry was heard in gun fire, police radio revealed warnings of multiple explosion. Suspect on the loose. Location near Boston site of the bombing a few days ago, not sure if it is related to the bombing or not.

This paper discusses the quantum mechanics of closed timelike curves (CTC) and of other potential methods for time travel. We analyze a specific proposal for such quantum time travel, the quantum description of CTCs based on post-selected teleportation (P-CTCs). We compare the theory of P-CTCs to previously proposed quantum theories of time travel: the theory is physically inequivalent to Deutsch's theory of CTCs, but it is consistent with path-integral approaches (which are the best suited for analyzing quantum field theory in curved spacetime). We derive the dynamical equations that a chronology-respecting system interacting with a CTC will experience. We discuss the possibility of time travel in the absence of general relativistic closed timelike curves, and investigate the implications of P-CTCs for enhancing the power of computation.
