Time dependence of Hawking radiation entropy

DN Page - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
If a black hole starts in a pure quantum state and evaporates completely by a unitary
process, the von Neumann entropy of the Hawking radiation initially increases and then …

A no-go theorem on the nature of the gravitational field beyond quantum theory

TD Galley, F Giacomini, JH Selby - Quantum, 2022 - quantum-journal.org
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 …

A postquantum theory of classical gravity?

J Oppenheim - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
The effort to discover a quantum theory of gravity is motivated by the need to reconcile the
incompatibility between quantum theory and general relativity. Here, we present an …

Higher-order interference and single-system postulates characterizing quantum theory

H Barnum, MP Müller, C Ududec - New Journal of Physics, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

[BOOK][B] Quantum theory: informational foundations and foils

G Chiribella, RW Spekkens - 2016 - Springer
The foundations of Quantum Mechanics are experiencing a golden age. In a timespan of
less than two decades, an astonishing number of new results, ideas, and frameworks have …

Entanglement and thermodynamics in general probabilistic theories

G Chiribella, CM Scandolo - New Journal of Physics, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Entanglement is one of the most striking features of quantum mechanics, and yet it is not
specifically quantum. More specific to quantum mechanics is the connection between …

Thermodynamics and the structure of quantum theory

M Krumm, H Barnum, J Barrett… - New Journal of …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Despite its enormous empirical success, the formalism of quantum theory still raises
fundamental questions: why is nature described in terms of complex Hilbert spaces, and …

Ruling out higher-order interference from purity principles

H Barnum, CM Lee, CM Scandolo, JH Selby - Entropy, 2017 - mdpi.com
As first noted by Rafael Sorkin, there is a limit to quantum interference. The interference
pattern formed in a multi-slit experiment is a function of the interference patterns formed …

A postquantum theory of classical gravity?

J Oppenheim - arxiv preprint arxiv:1811.03116, 2018 - arxiv.org
The effort to discover a quantum theory of gravity is motivated by the need to reconcile the
incompatibility between quantum theory and general relativity. Here, we present an …

Entropy, majorization and thermodynamics in general probabilistic theories

H Barnum, J Barrett, M Krumm, MP Müller - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2015 - arxiv.org
In this note we lay some groundwork for the resource theory of thermodynamics in general
probabilistic theories (GPTs). We consider theories satisfying a purely convex abstraction of …
