Unitary-invariant witnesses of quantum imaginarity

C Fernandes, R Wagner, L Novo, EF Galvão - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Quantum theory is traditionally formulated using complex numbers. This imaginarity of
quantum theory has been quantified as a resource with applications in discrimination tasks …

Experimental nonclassicality in a causal network without assuming freedom of choice

E Polino, D Poderini, G Rodari, I Agresti… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
In a Bell experiment, it is natural to seek a causal account of correlations wherein only a
common cause acts on the outcomes. For this causal structure, Bell inequality violations can …

Proposals for ruling out real quantum theories in an entanglement-swap** quantum network with causally independent sources

J Yao, H Chen, YL Mao, ZD Li, J Fan - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
The question of whether complex numbers play a fundamental role in quantum theory has
been debated since the inception of quantum mechanics. Recently, a feasible proposal to …

Signifying quantum uncertainty relations by optimal observable sets and the tightest uncertainty constants

XB Liang, B Li, SM Fei - Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy, 2024 - Springer
Quantum uncertainty relations constrain the precision of measurements across multiple non-

KD Wu, TV Kondra, CM Scandolo, S Rana… - Communications …, 2024 - nature.com
The resource theory of imaginarity studies the operational value of imaginary parts in
quantum states, operations, and measurements. Here we introduce and study the distillation …

Experimental demonstration of genuine tripartite nonlocality under strict locality conditions

L Huang, XM Gu, YF Jiang, D Wu, B Bai, MC Chen… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
