No-broadcasting characterizes operational contextuality

P Jokinen, M Weilenmann, M Plávala, JP Pellonpää… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Operational contextuality forms a rapidly develo** subfield of quantum information theory.
However, the characterization of the quantum mechanical entities that fuel the phenomenon …

Inferring the arrow of time in quantum spatiotemporal correlations

X Liu, Q Chen, O Dahlsten - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
We consider how to tell the time-ordering associated with measurement data from quantum
experiments at two times and any number of qubits. We define an arrow of time inference …

Why quantum correlations are shocking

MJW Hall - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
A simple minimalist argument is given for why some correlations between quantum systems
boggle our classical intuition. The argument relies on two elementary physical assumptions …

Quantum causal inference with extremely light touch

X Liu, Y Qiu, O Dahlsten, V Vedral - arxiv preprint arxiv:2303.10544, 2023 - arxiv.org
We consider the quantum version of inferring the causal relation between events. There has
been recent progress towards identifying minimal interventions and observations needed …

Certifying quantum temporal correlation via randomized measurements: Theory and experiment

H Liu, Z Liu, S Chen, X Nie, X Liu, D Lu - arxiv preprint arxiv:2409.02470, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider the certification of temporal quantum correlations using the pseudo-density
matrix (PDM), an extension of the density matrix to the time domain, where negative …

Semi-Device-Independently Characterizing Quantum Temporal Correlations

SL Chen, J Eisert - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We develop a framework for characterizing quantum temporal correlations in a general
temporal scenario, in which an initial quantum state is measured, sent through a quantum …

Connecting extended Wigner's friend arguments and noncontextuality

L Walleghem, Y Yīng, R Wagner, D Schmid - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
The Local Friendliness argument is an extended Wigner's friend no-go theorem that
provides strong constraints on the nature of reality--stronger even than those imposed by …

Optimization of Time-Ordered Processes in the Finite and Asymptotic Regimes

M Weilenmann, C Budroni, M Navascués - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
Many problems in quantum information theory can be formulated as optimizations over the
sequential outcomes of dynamical systems subject to unpredictable external influences …

[HTML][HTML] Two-time quantities as elements of physical reality

L Maquedano, AD Ribeiro, ACS Costa, RM Angelo - Physics Letters A, 2024 - Elsevier
In recent years, time correlators have received renewed attention, especially under the guise
of identifiers of nonclassical correlations. However, the physical interpretation of these …

Entanglement of temporal sections as quantum histories and their quantum correlation bounds

M Nowakowski - Entropy, 2024 - mdpi.com
In this paper, we focus on the underlying quantum structure of temporal correlations and
show their peculiar nature which differentiates them from spatial quantum correlations. With …
