General probabilistic theories: An introduction
M Plávala - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
We introduce the framework of general probabilistic theories (GPTs for short). GPTs are a
class of operational theories that generalize both finite-dimensional classical and quantum …

A no-go theorem on the nature of the gravitational field beyond quantum theory
Recently, table-top experiments involving massive quantum systems have been proposed to
test the interface of quantum theory and gravity. In particular, the crucial point of the debate …

Higher-order interference and single-system postulates characterizing quantum theory
We present a new characterization of quantum theory in terms of simple physical principles
that is different from previous ones in two important respects: first, it only refers to properties …

Temporal quantum correlations and Leggett-Garg inequalities in multilevel systems
We show that the quantum bound for temporal correlations in a Leggett-Garg test,
analogous to the Tsirelson bound for spatial correlations in a Bell test, strongly depends on …

Accessible fragments of generalized probabilistic theories, cone equivalence, and applications to witnessing nonclassicality
The formalism of generalized probabilistic theories (GPTs) was originally developed as a
way to characterize the landscape of conceivable physical theories. Thus, the GPT …

Experimentally bounding deviations from quantum theory in the landscape of generalized probabilistic theories
Many experiments in the field of quantum foundations seek to adjudicate between quantum
theory and speculative alternatives to it. This requires one to analyze the experimental data …

Detecting violations of macrorealism when the original Leggett-Garg inequalities are satisfied
Macroscopic realism (MR) is the notion that a time-evolving system possesses definite
properties, irrespective of past or future measurements. Quantum-mechanical theories can …

Leggett-Garg violations for continuous-variable systems with Gaussian states
C Mawby, JJ Halliwell - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
Macrorealism (MR) is the worldview that certain quantities may take definite values at all
times irrespective of past or future measurements and may be experimentally falsified via the …

Testing higher-order quantum interference with many-particle states
Quantum theory permits interference between indistinguishable paths but, at the same time,
restricts its order. Single-particle interference, for instance, is limited to the second order, that …
