Unscrambling the omelette of causation and inference: The framework of causal-inferential theories

D Schmid, JH Selby, RW Spekkens - arxiv preprint arxiv:2009.03297, 2020 - arxiv.org
Using a process-theoretic formalism, we introduce the notion of a causal-inferential theory: a
triple consisting of a theory of causal influences, a theory of inferences (of both the Boolean …

Reconstructing quantum theory from diagrammatic postulates

JH Selby, CM Scandolo, B Coecke - Quantum, 2021 - quantum-journal.org
A reconstruction of quantum theory refers to both a mathematical and a conceptual
paradigm that allows one to derive the usual formulation of quantum theory from a set of …

Analyzing quantum synchronization through Bohmian trajectories

W Li - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
We analyze quantum effects involved in continuous variable synchronization between two
self-sustaining resonators in the framework of Bohmian mechanics. Bohmian trajectories …

Retrocausal model of reality for quantum fields

PD Drummond, MD Reid - Physical review research, 2020 - APS
We show that one may interpret physical reality as random fields in space-time. These have
a probability given by the expectation of a coherent state projection operator, called the Q …

[HTML][HTML] The classical dynamics for the center of mass of a large quantum system

B Cui - Physics Letters A, 2023 - Elsevier
The understanding of the quantum-to-classical transition is of profound significance for the
foundations of quantum physics and for practical applications. We propose a protocol for a …

[HTML][HTML] On the connection between the Wigner and the Bohm quantum formalism

O Morandi - Physics Letters A, 2022 - Elsevier
In this paper, we discuss the connection between two alternative descriptions of the
quantum motion proposed by Wigner in 1932 and by Bohm in 1952. Such formalism …

Quantum uncertainty as classical uncertainty of real-deterministic variables constructed from complex weak values and a global random variable

A Budiyono, HK Dipojono - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
What does it take for real-deterministic c-valued (ie, classical, commuting) variables to
comply with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle? Here, we construct a class of real …

Atomic shell structure from an orbital-free-related density-functional-theory Pauli potential

RB Thompson - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
Polymer self-consistent field theory techniques are used to find radial electron densities and
total binding energies for isolated atoms. Quantum particles are modeled as Gaussian …

Bipartite Leggett-Garg and macroscopic Bell-inequality violations using cat states: Distinguishing weak and deterministic macroscopic realism

M Thenabadu, MD Reid - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
We consider tests of Leggett-Garg's macrorealism and of macroscopic local realism, where
for spacelike separated measurements the assumption of macroscopic noninvasive …

Quantifying continuous-variable realism

IS Freire, RM Angelo - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
The debate instigated by the seminal works of Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen, and Bell put the
notions of realism and nonlocality at the core of almost all philosophical and physical …
