A structure theorem for complex-valued quasiprobability representations of physical theories
Rafael Wagner, Roberto D. Baldijão, Matthias Salzger +3
Quasiprobability representations are well-established tools in quantum information science, with applications ranging from the classical simulability of quantum computation to quan…
Copenhagenish interpretations of quantum mechanics
David Schmid, Yìlè Yīng, Matthew Leifer
We define a class of Copenhagenish interpretations encompassing modern interpretations that follow the Copenhagen spirit. These interpretations are characterized by four postulates…
On whether quantum theory needs complex numbers: the foil theories perspective
Yìlè Yīng, Maria Ciudad Alañón, Daniel Centeno +5
Recent work by Renou et al. (2021) has led to some controversy concerning the question of whether quantum theory requires complex numbers for its formulation. We promote the view t…
Conceptual and formal groundwork for the study of resource dependence relations
Yìlè Yīng, Tomáš Gonda, Robert Spekkens
A resource theory imposes a preorder over states, with one state being above another if the first can be converted to the second by a free operation, and where the set of free oper…
