Experimental aspects of indefinite causal order in quantum mechanics
In the past decade, the toolkit of quantum information has been expanded to include
processes in which the basic operations do not have definite causal relations. Originally …

Charging quantum batteries via indefinite causal order: Theory and experiment
In the standard quantum theory, the causal order of occurrence between events is
prescribed, and must be definite. This has been maintained in all conventional scenarios of …

Experimental quantum communication enhancement by superposing trajectories
In quantum communication networks, wires represent well-defined trajectories along which
quantum systems are transmitted. In spite of this, trajectories can be used as a quantum …

Indefinite causal order enables perfect quantum communication with zero capacity channels
Quantum mechanics is compatible with scenarios where the relative order between two
events can be indefinite. Here we show that two independent instances of a noisy process …

Quantum refrigeration with indefinite causal order
D Felce, V Vedral - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
We propose a thermodynamic refrigeration cycle which uses indefinite causal orders to
achieve nonclassical cooling. The cycle cools a cold reservoir while consuming purity in a …

Embedding cyclic causal structures in acyclic spacetimes: no-go results for process matrices
Causality can be defined in terms of a space-time structure or based on information-theoretic
structures, which correspond to very different notions of causation. When analysing physical …
