Quantum correlations with no causal order
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, and is it a necessary property of nature? Here, we address these questions from the standpoint of quantum mechanics in a new framework for multipartite correlations that does not assume a pre-defined global causa...
متن کاملOn Causal Explanations of Quantum Correlations
The framework of causal models is ideally suited to formalizing certain conceptual problems in quantum theory, and conversely, a variety of tools developed by physicists studying the foundations of quantum theory have applications for causal inference. This talk reviews some of the connections between the two fields. In particular, it is shown that certain correlations predicted by quantum theo...
متن کاملLocal quantum measurement and no-signaling imply quantum correlations.
We show that, assuming that quantum mechanics holds locally, the finite speed of information is the principle that limits all possible correlations between distant parties to be quantum mechanical as well. Local quantum mechanics means that a Hilbert space is assigned to each party, and then all local positive-operator-valued measurements are (in principle) available; however, the joint system ...
متن کاملThird-order correlations in cavity quantum electrodynamics
The correlation of a photon detection with the record of a homodyne photocurrent has allowed the observation of time-resolved quantum fluctuations of the amplitude of a squeezed electromagnetic wave in a cavity quantum electrodynamic system. The photon detection, through the wavefunction collapse, prepares a conditional state whose evolution back to equilibrium is observed. The perturbation of ...
متن کاملHigher Order Correlations in Quantum Chaotic Spectra
The statistical properties of the quantum chaotic spectra have been studied, so far, only up to the second order correlation effects. The numerical as well as the analytical evidence that random matrix theory can successfully model the spectral fluctuatations of these systems is available only up to this order. For a complete understanding of spectral properties it is highly desirable to study ...
