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 …

[HTML][HTML] Why interference phenomena do not capture the essence of quantum theory

L Catani, M Leifer, D Schmid, RW Spekkens - Quantum, 2023 - quantum-journal.org
Quantum interference phenomena are widely viewed as posing a challenge to the classical
worldview. Feynman even went so far as to proclaim that they are the $\textit {only mystery} …

Alternative robust ways of witnessing nonclassicality in the simplest scenario

M Khoshbin, L Catani, M Leifer - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
In this paper we relate notions of nonclassicality in what is known as the simplest nontrivial
scenario (a prepare and measure scenario composed of four preparations and two binary …

Connecting xor and xor games

L Catani, R Faleiro, PE Emeriau, S Mansfield, A Pappa - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
In this work we focus on two classes of games: xor nonlocal games and xor* sequential
games with monopartite resources. xor games have been widely studied in the literature of …

Comparing the cost of violating causal assumptions in Bell experiments: locality, free choice and arrow-of-time

P Blasiak, C Gallus - … Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The causal modelling of Bell experiments relies on three fundamental assumptions: locality,
freedom of choice and arrow-of-time. It turns out that nature violates Bell inequalities, which …

Resource-theoretic hierarchy of contextuality for general probabilistic theories

L Catani, TD Galley, T Gonda - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.00717, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this work we present a hierarchy of generalized contextuality. It refines the traditional
binary distinction between contextual and noncontextual theories, and facilitates their …

Comment on a no-go theorem for -ontic models

L Walleghem, S Khanna, R Bhavsar - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.13140, 2024 - arxiv.org
In a recent paper [Carcassi, Oldofredi and Aidala, Found Phys 54, 14 (2024)] it is claimed
that the whole Harrigan--Spekkens framework of ontological models is inconsistent with …

Quantum description of reality is empirically incomplete

A Chaturvedi, M Pawłowski, D Saha - arXiv preprint arXiv:2110.13124, 2021 - arxiv.org
Empirical falsifiability of the predictions of physical theories is the cornerstone of the
scientific method. Physical theories attribute empirically falsifiable operational properties to …

Guiding our interpretation of quantum theory by principles of causation and inference

D Schmid - 2021 - uwspace.uwaterloo.ca
A key aim of quantum foundations is to characterize the sense in which nature goes beyond
classical physics. Understanding nonclassicality is one of our best avenues towards finding …

Robust Ways of Witnessing Nonclassicality in the Simplest Scenario

M Khoshbin - 2024 - escholarship.org
Motivated by treating the 2→ 1 parity-oblivious multiplexing under the influence of
experimental noise, with its success probability serving as an indicator of nonclassicality …
