Against Many Worlds
Emily Adlam, Jacob A. Barandes
Any viable interpretation of quantum theory needs to account for the Born rule, from which the theory gets its probabilistic empirical predictions. In this paper, we give an overvi…
What Kind of Relationality does Quantum Mechanics Exhibit?
Emily Adlam
In this article I elaborate on the approach to relational quantum mechanics suggested by Adlam and Rovelli (2023). I suggest that this approach fills an important gap in the spectr…
The Combination Problem for Relational Quantum Mechanics
Emily Adlam
This article uses the existing literature on the panpsychist combination problem as a starting point to think about how to address a structurally similar combination problem in rel…
Time and event symmetry in quantum mechanics
Michael Ridley, Emily Adlam
We investigate two types of temporal symmetry in quantum mechanics. The first type, time symmetry, refers to the inclusion of opposite time orientations on an equivalent physical f…
Taxonomy for Physics Beyond Quantum Mechanics
Emily Adlam, Jonte R. Hance, Sabine Hossenfelder +1
We propose terminology to classify interpretations of quantum mechanics and models that modify or complete quantum mechanics. Our focus is on models which have previously been refe…
Tsirelson's Bound and the Quantum Monogamy Bound from Global Determinism
Emily Adlam
We demonstrate that in a globally deterministic universe, all spatiotemporally symmetric processes must obey counterfactual parameter independence. We show that the Tsirelson bound…
Knowledge-Concealing Evidencing of Knowledge about a Quantum State
Emily Adlam, Adrian Kent
Bob has a black box that emits a single pure state qudit which is, from his perspective, uniformly distributed. Alice wishes to give Bob evidence that she has knowledge about the e…
A Quantum Paradox of Choice and Purported Classical Analogues
Emily Adlam, Adrian Kent
We recently considered the task of summoning an unknown quantum state and proved necessary and sufficient conditions for Alice to be able to guarantee to complete the task when the…
A Quantum Paradox of Choice: More Freedom Makes Summoning a Quantum State Harder
Emily Adlam, Adrian Kent
The properties of quantum information in space-time can be investigated by studying operational tasks. In one such task, summoning, an unknown quantum state is supplied at one poin…
Device-Independent Relativistic Quantum Bit Commitment
Emily Adlam, Adrian Kent
We examine the possibility of device-independent relativistic quantum bit commitment. We note the potential threat of {\it location attacks}, in which the behaviour of untrusted de…
Deterministic Relativistic Quantum Bit Commitment
Emily Adlam, Adrian Kent
We describe new unconditionally secure bit commitment schemes whose security is based on Minkowski causality and the monogamy of quantum entanglement. We first describe an ideal sc…
Nonlocality in instantaneous quantum circuits
Joel J. Wallman, Emily Adlam
We show that families of Instantaneous Quantum Polynomial (IQP) circuits corresponding to nontrivial Bell tests exhibit nonlocality. However, we also prove that this nonlocality ca…
