Wigner function for SU(1,1)

U. Seyfarth, A. B. Klimov, H. de Guise +2

In spite of their potential usefulness, Wigner functions for systems with SU(1,1) symmetry have not been explored thus far. We address this problem from a physically-motivated pers…

Quantum Inflation: A General Approach to Quantum Causal Compatibility

Elie Wolfe, Alejandro Pozas-Kerstjens, Matan Grinberg +3

Causality is a seminal concept in science: Any research discipline, from sociology and medicine to physics and chemistry, aims at understanding the causes that could explain the co…

Nonclassical joint distributions and Bell measurements

Elisa Masa, Laura Ares, Alfredo Luis

Derivation and experimental violation of Bell-like inequalities involve the measurement of in-compatible observables. Simple complementarity forbids the existence of such joint pro…

Nonlinear Dynamics from Linear Quantum Evolutions

Florio M. Ciaglia, Fabio Di Cosmo, Armando Figueroa +5

Linear dynamics restricted to invariant submanifolds generally gives rise to nonlinear dynamics. Submanifolds in the quantum framework may emerge for several reasons: one could be…

Geometry of joint reality: device-independent steering and operational completeness

Michael J. W. Hall, Ángel Rivas

We look at what type of arguments can rule out the joint reality (or value definiteness) of two observables of a physical system, such as a qubit, and give several strong yet simpl…

Quantum Thermodynamics in the Refined Weak Coupling Limit

Ángel Rivas

We present a thermodynamic framework for the refined weak coupling limit. In this limit the interaction between system and environment is weak, but not negligible. As a result, the…
