Discovering physical concepts with neural networks

R Iten, T Metger, H Wilming, L Del Rio, R Renner - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
Despite the success of neural networks at solving concrete physics problems, their use as a
general-purpose tool for scientific discovery is still in its infancy. Here, we approach this …

[BOOK][B] Quantum theory from first principles: an informational approach

GM D'Ariano, G Chiribella, P Perinotti - 2017 - books.google.com
" Quantum theory is the soul of theoretical physics. It is not just a theory of specific physical
systems, but rather a new framework with universal applicability. This book shows how we …

What is nonclassical about uncertainty relations?

L Catani, M Leifer, G Scala, D Schmid, RW Spekkens - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Uncertainty relations express limits on the extent to which the outcomes of distinct
measurements on a single state can be made jointly predictable. The existence of nontrivial …

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 …

Violations of locality and free choice are equivalent resources in Bell experiments

P Blasiak, EM Pothos, JM Yearsley… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Bell inequalities rest on three fundamental assumptions: realism, locality, and free choice,
which lead to nontrivial constraints on correlations in very simple experiments. If we retain …
