Accessible fragments of generalized probabilistic theories, cone equivalence, and applications to witnessing nonclassicality

John H. Selby et al.

Summary: The formalism of generalized probabilistic theories (GPTs) was developed to characterize conceivable physical theories. The GPT describing a specific physical theory includes all possible processes. This study introduces an accessible GPT fragment to describe the characteristics of a particular experimental setup within a physical theory. Cone equivalence is defined as an equivalence relation between accessible GPT fragments. Several examples are given to demonstrate the use of accessible GPT fragments in experimental scenarios, and it is proven that failures of generalized noncontextuality can be witnessed without incompatibility among measurements or the assumption of freedom of choice.

Quantum vs Noncontextual Semi-Device-Independent Randomness Certification

Carles Roch i Carceller et al.

Summary: In this study, we compare the abilities of quantum and classical physics in terms of randomness certification from partially characterized devices, and propose quantum and noncontextual semi-device independent protocols for random-number generation based on maximum-confidence discrimination. The results show that, without unambiguously identifying any input states, quantum devices can certify more randomness than noncontextual ones.

Solvable Criterion for the Contextuality of any Prepare-and-Measure Scenario

Victor Gitton et al.

Summary: This study constructs an operationally noncontextual ontological model for quantum statistics in the prepare-and-measure scenario, covering the non-tomographically complete case and introducing the concept of unit separability. By formulating unit separability as a set of linear constraints, the study presents two hierarchies of algorithmic tests to witness or certify the classicality of a scenario. The results are discussed in the context of generalized probabilistic theories and implications for simplex-embeddability are addressed.

Coherence as a Resource for Shor?s Algorithm

Felix Ahnefeld et al.

Summary: In this paper, we investigate a sequential variant of Shor's algorithm and quantitatively explore the role of coherence. By using the framework of dynamical resource theories, we determine the lower and upper bounds of the success probability of the protocol and find that coherence is the quantum resource that determines its performance within the fixed structure considered.

Contextual Advantages and Certification for Maximum-Confidence Discrimination

Kieran Flatt et al.

Summary: This work investigates the advantages of quantum discrimination tasks over noncontextual theories by considering a maximum-confidence measurement that unifies different strategies of quantum state discrimination. The study shows that maximum-confidence discrimination and unambiguous discrimination both possess contextual advantages, and that certified maximum confidence in quantum theory also contains contextual advantages.

Characterising and bounding the set of quantum behaviours in contextuality scenarios

Anubhav Chaturvedi et al.

Summary: This passage discusses the resistance of quantum theory predictions towards generalized noncontextual explanations and how violations of noncontextuality limit quantum advantage in communication and information processing. By formally defining contextuality scenarios, formulating novel relaxations, and studying quantum contextual behaviors, the text explores the foundational relevance and potential applications of quantum theory in various scenarios.

Set Coherence: Basis-Independent Quantification of Quantum Coherence

Sebastien Designolle et al.

Summary: The coherence of a set of quantum systems can be characterized in a basis-independent way using the concept of set coherence, with measures that have operational meaning in discrimination games and capture the advantage offered by a given set over incoherent ones. This notion of set coherence is also connected to resource-theoretic approaches developed for quantum systems.

Emergence of Noncontextuality under Quantum Darwinism

Roberto D. Baldijao et al.

Summary: Quantum Darwinism suggests that the proliferation of redundant information is crucial for the emergence of objectivity from the quantum world. Research indicates that if the environment effectively encodes the proliferated information, classical objectivity can be unambiguously said to have emerged under quantum Darwinism.

Contextuality of General Probabilistic Theories

Farid Shahandeh

Summary: The concept of generalized contextuality studies the inability to explain measurement statistics using a context-independent probabilistic and ontological model, instead looking at frameworks such as general probabilistic theories (GPTs) to model these statistics. It is found that GPTs satisfying the no-restriction hypothesis are ontologically noncontextual only when they are simplicial, while GPTs violating this hypothesis can be considered as subtheories of GPTs satisfying the hypothesis. Subtheories are ontologically noncontextual if they are subtheories of simplicial GPTs of the same dimensionality.

Bounding and Simulating Contextual Correlations in Quantum Theory

Armin Tavakoli et al.

Summary: The study introduces a hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations for the set of quantum correlations in generalized contexts. It proves useful for determining the maximal quantum violation of certain inequalities and showing that certain correlations cannot be explained with pure states. Additionally, the study introduces the information cost of simulating preparation-contextual correlations and demonstrates that the simulation cost can be efficiently bounded using a variant of the hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations.

Witnesses of coherence and dimension from multiphoton indistinguishability tests

Taira Giordani et al.

Experimental results show the effectiveness of measuring three pairwise overlaps among three single-photon states and demonstrate that these measurements also serve as a Hilbert-space dimension witness.

Experimentally Bounding Deviations From Quantum Theory in the Landscape of Generalized Probabilistic Theories

Michael D. Mazurek et al.

Summary: Experiments in quantum foundations aim to differentiate between quantum theory and other alternatives, utilizing generalized probabilistic theories (GPTs) to analyze data and determine consistency. By testing various hypotheses for the dimension of GPT vector space, it is found that dimension 4 aligns with experimental data, providing quantitative bounds on deviations from quantum predictions. The study suggests that deviations beyond quantum state and effect spaces may only occur if future experiments require additional dimensions of GPT vector space beyond the four dimensions predicted by quantum theory.

Characterization of Noncontextuality in the Framework of Generalized Probabilistic Theories

David Schmid et al.

Summary: This study explores the notion of classicality in generalized probabilistic theory (GPT) and introduces the concept of simplex embeddability as a geometric condition for classicality in GPT. In essence, simplex embeddability requires the state space of a GPT to be embeddable in a simplex and its effect space in the dual of that simplex, providing a new intuitive and standalone notion of classicality for GPTs.
