Decoupling local classicality from classical explainability: A noncontextual model for bilocal classical theory and a locally-classical but contextual theory

Sina Soltani, Marco Erba, David Schmid +1

We construct an ontological model for the theory known as bilocal classical theory doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.102.052216. To our knowledge, this is only the second time that an ontol…

Polytopic Quantum Resource Theories: Geometry and Structures

Moein Naseri, Chirag Srivastava, Chandan Datta +2

Quantum resource theories provide a unifying framework to quantify, compare, and manipulate quantum resources under well-defined operational constraints. Here, we consider any reso…

Symmetry-induced failures of tomographic locality: Constructing foil theories by twirling

Daniel Centeno, Marco Erba, Thomas D. Galley +7

Tomographic locality is a principle commonly used in the program of finding axioms that pick out quantum theory within the landscape of possible theories. The principle asserts the…

Shadows and subsystems of generalized probabilistic theories: when tomographic incompleteness is not a loophole for contextuality proofs

David Schmid, John H. Selby, Vinicius P. Rossi +2

It is commonly believed that failures of tomographic completeness undermine assessments of nonclassicality in noncontextuality experiments. In this work, we study how such failures…

Kirkwood-Dirac representations beyond quantum states (and their relation to noncontextuality)

David Schmid, Roberto D. Baldijão, Yìlè Yīng +2

Kirkwood-Dirac representations of quantum states are increasingly finding use in many areas within quantum theory. Usually, representations of this sort are only applied to provide…

Every non-signalling channel is common-cause realizable

Paulo J. Cavalcanti, John H. Selby, Ana Belén Sainz

In this work we show that the set of non-signalling resources of a locally-tomographic generalised probabilistic theory (GPT), such as quantum and classical theory, coincides with…
