Observers of quantum systems cannot agree to disagree
Patricia Contreras-Tejada, Giannicola Scarpa, Aleksander M. Kubicki +2
Is the world quantum? An active research line in quantum foundations is devoted to exploring what constraints can rule out the postquantum theories that are consistent with experim…
Rényi Entropy, Signed Probabilities, and the Qubit
Adam Brandenburger, Pierfrancesco La Mura, Stuart Zoble
The states of the qubit, the basic unit of quantum information, are positive semi-definite Hermitian matrices with trace 1. We contribute to the program to axiomatize…
Deriving the Qubit from Entropy Principles
Adam Brandenburger, Pierfrancesco La Mura
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is one of the most famous features of quantum mechanics. However, the non-determinism implied by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle --- toget…
Team Decision Problems with Classical and Quantum Signals
Adam Brandenburger, Pierfrancesco La Mura
We study team decision problems where communication is not possible, but coordination among team members can be realized via signals in a shared environment. We consider a variety…
Projective Expected Utility
Pierfrancesco La Mura
Motivated by several classic decision-theoretic paradoxes, and by analogies with the paradoxes which in physics motivated the development of quantum mechanics, we introduce a proje…
Markovian Entanglement Networks
Pierfrancesco La Mura, Lukasz Swiatczak
Graphical models of probabilistic dependencies have been extensively investigated in the context of classical uncertainty. However, in some domains (most notably, in computational…
Correlated Equilibria of Classical Strategic Games with Quantum Signals
Pierfrancesco La Mura
Correlated equilibria are sometimes more efficient than the Nash equilibria of a game without signals. We investigate whether the availability of quantum signals in the context of…
