[HTML][HTML] 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 …

Witnessing causal nonseparability

M Araújo, C Branciard, F Costa, A Feix… - New Journal of …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Our common understanding of the physical world deeply relies on the notion that events are
ordered with respect to some time parameter, with past events serving as causes for future …

The Oxford Questions on the foundations of quantum physics

GAD Briggs, JN Butterfield… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The twentieth century saw two fundamental revolutions in physics—relativity and quantum.
Daily use of these theories can numb the sense of wonder at their immense empirical …

A derivation of quantum theory from physical requirements

L Masanes, MP Müller - New Journal of Physics, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Quantum theory (QT) is usually formulated in terms of abstract mathematical postulates
involving Hilbert spaces, state vectors and unitary operators. In this paper, we show that the …

QBism, the perimeter of quantum Bayesianism

CA Fuchs - arXiv preprint arXiv:1003.5209, 2010 - arxiv.org
This article summarizes the Quantum Bayesian point of view of quantum mechanics, with
special emphasis on the view's outer edges---dubbed QBism. QBism has its roots in …

[HTML][HTML] A change of perspective: switching quantum reference frames via a perspective-neutral framework

A Vanrietvelde, PA Höhn, F Giacomini… - Quantum, 2020 - quantum-journal.org
Treating reference frames fundamentally as quantum systems is inevitable in quantum
gravity and also in quantum foundations once considering laboratories as physical systems …

Theory-independent limits on correlations from generalized Bayesian networks

J Henson, R Lal, MF Pusey - New Journal of Physics, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Bayesian networks provide a powerful tool for reasoning about probabilistic causation, used
in many areas of science. They are, however, intrinsically classical. In particular, Bayesian …

[HTML][HTML] Almost quantum correlations

M Navascués, Y Guryanova, MJ Hoban… - Nature communications, 2015 - nature.com
Quantum theory is not only successfully tested in laboratories every day but also constitutes
a robust theoretical framework: small variations usually lead to implausible consequences …

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 …
