A review and reformulation of macroscopic realism: resolving its deficiencies using the framework of generalized probabilistic theories
D Schmid - Quantum, 2024 - quantum-journal.org
The notion of macrorealism was introduced by Leggett and Garg in an attempt to capture our
intuitive conception of the macroscopic world, which seems difficult to reconcile with our …

Aspects of the phenomenology of interference that are genuinely nonclassical
Interference phenomena are often claimed to resist classical explanation. However, such
claims are undermined by the fact that the specific aspects of the phenomenology upon …

Linear program for testing nonclassicality and an open-source implementation
A well-motivated method for demonstrating that an experiment resists any classical
explanation is to show that its statistics violate generalized noncontextuality. We here …

Kirkwood-Dirac representations beyond quantum states and their relation to noncontextuality
Kirkwood-Dirac representations of quantum states are increasingly finding use in many
areas within quantum theory. Usually, representations of this sort are only applied to provide …

Characterization of noncontextuality in the framework of generalized probabilistic theories
To make precise the sense in which the operational predictions of quantum theory conflict
with a classical worldview, it is necessary to articulate a notion of classicality within an …

Anomalous weak values and contextuality: Robustness, tightness, and imaginary parts
Weak values are quantities accessed through quantum experiments involving weak
measurements and postselection. It has been shown that “anomalous” weak values (those …

Testing quantum theory by generalizing noncontextuality
It is a fundamental prediction of quantum theory that states of physical systems are
described by complex vectors or density operators on a Hilbert space. However, many …

Contextuality in entanglement-assisted one-shot classical communication
We consider the problem of entanglement-assisted one-shot classical communication. In the
zero-error regime, entanglement can increase the one-shot zero-error capacity of a family of …
