Cyclic quantum causal models

J Barrett, R Lorenz, O Oreshkov - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
Causal reasoning is essential to science, yet quantum theory challenges it. Quantum
correlations violating Bell inequalities defy satisfactory causal explanations within the …

Causal and causally separable processes

O Oreshkov, C Giarmatzi - New Journal of Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The idea that events are equipped with a partial causal order is central to our understanding
of physics in the tested regimes: given two pointlike eventsAandB, eitherAis in the causal …

Quantum causal models

J Barrett, R Lorenz, O Oreshkov - arXiv preprint arXiv:1906.10726, 2019 - arxiv.org
It is known that the classical framework of causal models is not general enough to allow for
causal reasoning about quantum systems. While the framework has been generalized in a …

Quantum causal modelling

F Costa, S Shrapnel - New Journal of Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Causal modelling provides a powerful set of tools for identifying causal structure from
observed correlations. It is well known that such techniques fail for quantum systems, unless …

Quantum causality

Č Brukner - Nature Physics, 2014 - nature.com
Traditionally, quantum theory assumes the existence of a fixed background causal structure.
But if the laws of quantum mechanics are applied to the causal relations, then one could …

Quantum common causes and quantum causal models

JMA Allen, J Barrett, DC Horsman, CM Lee… - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
Reichenbach's principle asserts that if two observed variables are found to be correlated,
then there should be a causal explanation of these correlations. Furthermore, if the …

Quantifying causal influences in the presence of a quantum common cause

M Gachechiladze, N Miklin, R Chaves - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
Quantum mechanics challenges our intuition on the cause-effect relations in nature. Some
fundamental concepts, including Reichenbach's common cause principle or the notion of …

Quantum correlations with no causal order

O Oreshkov, F Costa, Č Brukner - Nature communications, 2012 - nature.com
The idea that events obey a definite causal order is deeply rooted in our understanding of
the world and at the basis of the very notion of time. But where does causal order come from …

[HTML][HTML] Experimental entanglement of temporal order

G Rubino, LA Rozema, F Massa, M Araújo, M Zych… - Quantum, 2022 - quantum-journal.org
The study of causal relations has recently been applied to the quantum realm, leading to the
discovery that not all physical processes have a definite causal structure. While indefinite …

Quantum-coherent mixtures of causal relations

JPW MacLean, K Ried, RW Spekkens… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Understanding the causal influences that hold among parts of a system is critical both to
explaining that system's natural behaviour and to controlling it through targeted …
