Fully quantum inflation: quantum marginal problem constraints in the service of causal inference
Isaac D. Smith, Elie Wolfe, Robert W. Spekkens
Consider the problem of deciding, for a particular multipartite quantum state, whether or not it is realizable in a quantum network with a particular causal structure. This is a fu…
A new paradigm for entanglement certification using noncontextuality inequalities
Yujie Zhang, Jonah Spodek, David Schmid +5
By combining the assumptions of Bell locality with those of generalized noncontextuality, we define classes of noncontextuality inequalities for correlations arising in a bipartite…
A contextual advantage for conclusive exclusion: repurposing the Pusey-Barrett-Rudolph construction
Yìlè Yīng, David Schmid, Robert W. Spekkens
The task of conclusive exclusion for a set of quantum states is to find a measurement such that for each state in the set, there is an outcome that allows one to conclude with cert…
Reassessing the boundary between classical and nonclassical for individual quantum processes
Yujie Zhang, David Schmid, Yìlè Yīng +1
There is a received wisdom about where to draw the boundary between classical and nonclassical for various types of quantum processes. For multipartite states, it is the divide bet…
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…
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…
