Nonclassical correlations from randomly chosen local measurements

Yeong-Cherng Liang, Nicholas Harrigan, Stephen D. Bartlett +1

We show that correlations inconsistent with any locally causal description can be a generic feature of measurements on entangled quantum states. Specifically, spatially-separated p…

Entanglement detection with bounded reference frames

Fabio Costa, Nicholas Harrigan, Terry Rudolph +1

Quantum experiments usually assume the existence of perfect, classical, reference frames, which allow for the specification of measurement settings (e.g. orientation of the Stern G…

Ontological models and the interpretation of contextuality

Nicholas Harrigan, Terry Rudolph

Studying the extent to which realism is compatible with quantum mechanics teaches us something about the quantum mechanical universe, regardless of the validity of such realistic a…

Representing probabilistic data via ontological models

Nicholas Harrigan, Terry Rudolph, Scott Aaronson

Ontological models are attempts to quantitatively describe the results of a probabilistic theory, such as Quantum Mechanics, in a framework exhibiting an explicit realism-based und…

Einstein, incompleteness, and the epistemic view of quantum states

Nicholas Harrigan, Robert W. Spekkens

Does the quantum state represent reality or our knowledge of reality? In making this distinction precise, we are led to a novel classification of hidden variable models of quantum…
