Autonomization of Quantum Systems and the Emergence of the Work Operator
Carlo Cepollaro, Danial Chughtai, Alberto Spalvieri +2
Estimation of work at the quantum scale remains a central challenge in quantum thermodynamics. Canonical approaches have a fundamental drawback: they assume classical control of th…

Aumann's theorem beyond ontology: quantum, postquantum, and indefinite causal order
Carlo Cepollaro, Andrea Di Biagio
Agreement theorems are no-go results about rational disagreement: if two agents start from a common prior and their posterior beliefs are common knowledge, they cannot assign diffe…

The classical limit of quantum mechanics through coarse-grained measurements
Fatemeh Bibak, Carlo Cepollaro, Nicolás Medina Sánchez +2
Understanding how classical physics emerges from quantum mechanics remains a central problem in the foundations of physics. Here we derive a classical limit from finite-resolution…
