The resource theory of causal influence and knowledge of causal influence

Marina Maciel Ansanelli, Beata Zjawin, David Schmid +5

Understanding and quantifying causal relationships between variables is essential for reasoning about the physical world. In this work, we develop a resource-theoretic framework to…

Distinguishability of causal structures under latent confounding and selection

Ryan Carey, Marina Maciel Ansanelli, Elie Wolfe +1

Statistical relationships in observed data can arise for several different reasons: the observed variables may be causally related, they may share a latent common cause, or there m…

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…

The observational partial order of causal structures with latent variables

Marina Maciel Ansanelli, Elie Wolfe, Robert W. Spekkens

For two causal structures with the same set of visible variables, one is said to observationally dominate the other if the set of distributions over the visible variables realizabl…

Everything that can be learned about a causal structure with latent variables by observational and interventional probing schemes

Marina Maciel Ansanelli, Elie Wolfe, Robert W. Spekkens

What types of differences among causal structures with latent variables are impossible to distinguish by statistical data obtained by probing each visible variable? If the probing…

Relating Wigner's Friend Scenarios to Nonclassical Causal Compatibility, Monogamy Relations, and Fine Tuning

Yìlè Yīng, Marina Maciel Ansanelli, Andrea Di Biagio +3

Nonclassical causal modeling was developed in order to explain violations of Bell inequalities while adhering to relativistic causal structure and faithfulness -- that is, avoiding…

Classifying Causal Structures: Ascertaining when Classical Correlations are Constrained by Inequalities

Shashaank Khanna, Marina Maciel Ansanelli, Matthew F. Pusey +1

The classical causal relations between a set of variables, some observed and some latent, can induce both equality constraints (typically conditional independences) as well as ineq…
