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

L Catani, M Leifer, G Scala, D Schmid, RW Spekkens - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
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

JH Selby, E Wolfe, D Schmid, AB Sainz, VP Rossi - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
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

D Schmid, RD Baldijão, Y Yīng, R Wagner, JH Selby - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
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

D Schmid, JH Selby, E Wolfe, R Kunjwal… - PRX Quantum, 2021 - APS
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

R Kunjwal, M Lostaglio, MF Pusey - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
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

MP Müller, AJP Garner - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
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

SA Yadavalli, R Kunjwal - Quantum, 2022 - quantum-journal.org
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 …

An open-source linear program for testing nonclassicality

JH Selby, E Wolfe, D Schmid, AB Sainz - arxiv preprint arxiv:2204.11905, 2022 - arxiv.org
The gold standard for demonstrating that an experiment resists any classical explanation is
to show that its statistics violate generalized noncontextuality. We here provide an open …
