Is Hardy's paradox a paradox?

Abstract

In the present Note it is shown that Hardy thought experiment does not lead to any paradox and its explanation can be made by using quantum mechanical methods, without the need of weak measurements theories. The confusion arising about this thought experiment follows from ignoring the use of a projective measurement of the kind of knowledge. A certain comment about the realization of Hardy thought experiment with photons is made.
