Kochen-specker contextuality
A central result in the foundations of quantum mechanics is the Kochen-Specker theorem. In
short, it states that quantum mechanics is in conflict with classical models in which the result …

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 …

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

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 …

Quantum contextuality provides communication complexity advantage
Despite the conceptual importance of contextuality in quantum mechanics, there is a hitherto
limited number of applications requiring contextuality but not entanglement. Here, we show …

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 …

Certifying quantum signatures in thermodynamics and metrology via contextuality of quantum linear response
M Lostaglio - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
I identify a fundamental difference between classical and quantum dynamics in the linear
response regime by showing that the latter is, in general, contextual. This allows me to …

Unscrambling the omelette of causation and inference: The framework of causal-inferential theories
Using a process-theoretic formalism, we introduce the notion of a causal-inferential theory: a
triple consisting of a theory of causal influences, a theory of inferences (of both the Boolean …
