We present a resolution of the RHIC HBT Puzzle, a relativistic quantum wave-mechanical treatment of the opacity and refractive effects of pions emerging from a hot dense expanding source. The model assumes that the initial medium achieves partial chiral symmetry restoration, which produces a very deep momentum-dependent complex potential. The Klein-Gordon equation with Bjorken-cylinder geometry is solved for distorted waves representing the emerging pions. These waves are combined with a hydro-inspired pion source function to predict HBT radii and pion spectra. The model has acheieved excellent HBT radii and spectrum fits to RHIC sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV Au+Au data from STAR and to CERN Pb+Pb data from NA49, reproducing the observed small source sizes, Ro/Rs~1, and the low-momentum behavior of the radii. The calculations represent a new tool for investigating the presence and characteristics of chiral symmetry restoration in heavy ion collisions.
