Any theory that admits a Wigner's Friend type multi-agent paradox is logically contextual
Nuriya Nurgalieva, V. Vilasini
Wigner's Friend scenarios push the boundaries of quantum theory by modeling agents, along with their memories storing measurement outcomes, as physical quantum systems. Extending t…
Entropic costs of extracting classical ticks from a quantum clock
Vivek Wadhia, Florian Meier, Federico Fedele +12
We experimentally realize a quantum clock by using a charge sensor to count charges tunneling through a double quantum dot (DQD). Individual tunneling events are used as the clock'…
Tomography of clock signals using the simplest possible reference
Nuriya Nurgalieva, Ralph Silva, Renato Renner
We show that finite physical clocks always have well-behaved signals, namely that every waiting-time distribution generated by a physical process on a system of finite size is guar…
Optimal time estimation and the clock uncertainty relation for stochastic processes
Kacper Prech, Gabriel T. Landi, Florian Meier +4
Time estimation is a fundamental task that underpins precision measurement, global navigation systems, financial markets, and the organisation of everyday life. Many biological pro…
Ticking clocks in quantum theory
Ralph Silva, Nuriya Nurgalieva, Henrik Wilming
We present a derivation of the structure and dynamics of a ticking clock by showing that for finite systems a single natural principle serves to distinguish what we understand as t…
Thought experiments in a quantum computer
Nuriya Nurgalieva, Simon Mathis, Lídia del Rio +1
We introduce a software package that allows users to design and run simulations of thought experiments in quantum theory. In particular, it covers cases where several reasoning age…
Toys can't play: physical agents in Spekkens' theory
Ladina Hausmann, Nuriya Nurgalieva, Lídia del Rio
Information is physical, and for a physical theory to be universal, it should model observers as physical systems, with concrete memories where they store the information acquired…
Testing quantum theory with thought experiments
Nuriya Nurgalieva, Renato Renner
Quantum mechanics is one of our most successful physical theories; its predictions agree with experimental observations to an extremely high accuracy. However, the bare formalism o…
A consolidating review of Spekkens' toy theory
Ladina Hausmann, Nuriya Nurgalieva, Lídia del Rio
In order to better understand a complex theory like quantum mechanics, it is sometimes useful to take a step back and create alternative theories, with more intuitive foundations,…
Quantum epistemology and constructivism
Patrick Fraser, Nuriya Nurgalieva, Lídia del Rio
Constructivist epistemology posits that all truths are knowable. One might ask to what extent constructivism is compatible with naturalized epistemology and knowledge obtained from…
Multi-agent paradoxes beyond quantum theory
V. Vilasini, Nuriya Nurgalieva, Lidia del Rio
Which theories lead to a contradiction between simple reasoning principles and modelling observers' memories as physical systems? Frauchiger and Renner have shown that this is the…
Inadequacy of Modal Logic in Quantum Settings
Nuriya Nurgalieva, Lídia del Rio
We test the principles of classical modal logic in fully quantum settings. Modal logic models our reasoning in multi-agent problems, and allows us to solve puzzles like the muddy c…
