Classical and quantum mechanics across representations: an operational reading of the Wigner Weyl correspondence
Samuel Schlegel, Borivoje DakiÄ, Flavio Del Santo
The paper systematically compares classical and quantum mechanics when expressed in each other's mathematical representations via the Wigner‑Weyl correspondence, highlighting which…
Creative and geometric times in physics, mathematics, logic, and philosophy
Flavio Del Santo, Nicolas Gisin
We distinguish two different concepts of time that play a role in physics: \textit{geometric time} and \textit{creative time}. The former is the time of deterministic physics and m…
Classification of joint quantum measurements based on entanglement cost of localization
Jef Pauwels, Alejandro Pozas-Kerstjens, Flavio Del Santo +1
Despite their importance in quantum theory, joint quantum measurements remain poorly understood. An intriguing conceptual and practical question is whether joint quantum measuremen…
Entanglement without Quantum Mechanics: Operational Constraints on the Quantum Signature
Samuel Schlegel, Borivoje DakiÄ, Flavio Del Santo
Entanglement is often regarded as an inherently quantum feature. We show that this does not have to be the case: under restricted operational access, classical correlations can app…
Naturalistic intuitionism for physics
Bruno Bentzen, Flavio Del Santo, Nicolas Gisin
Recently, a novel intuitionistic reconstruction of the foundations of physics has been primarily developed by Nicolas Gisin and Flavio Del Santo drawing on naturalism. Our goal in…
Which features of quantum physics are not fundamentally quantum but are due to indeterminism?
Flavio Del Santo, Nicolas Gisin
What is fundamentally quantum? We argue that most of the features, problems, and paradoxes -- such as the measurement problem, the Wigner's friend paradox and its proposed solution…
