We present a fundamental concept - closed sets of correlations - for studying nonlocal correlations. We argue that sets of correlations corresponding to information-theoretic principles, or more generally to consistent physical theories, must be closed under a natural set of operations. Hence, studying the closure of sets of correlations gives insight into which information-theoretic principles are genuinely different, and which are ultimately equivalent. This concept also has implications for…

Quantum correlations require multipartite information principles.

This work shows that no principle based on bipartite information concepts is able to singleout the set of quantum correlations for an arbitrary number of parties, and implies that new and intrinsically multipartites information concepts are needed for their full understanding.

Since Bell's theorem we know that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local hidden variable models, the phenomenon known as quantum nonlocality. However, in spite of steady progress over years,
Almost-Quantum Correlations Violate the No-Restriction Hypothesis.

It is proved that, contrary to quantum correlations, no generalized probabilistic theory satisfying the no-restriction hypothesis is able to reproduce the set of almost-quantum correlations.
Generalized probability theories: what determines the structure of quantum theory?
• Physics
• 2014
It turns out that non-classical features of single systems can equivalently result from higher-dimensional classical theories that have been restricted, and entanglement and non-locality are shown to be genuine non- classical features.
Geometry of the set of quantum correlations
• Physics

It is well known that correlations predicted by quantum mechanics cannot be explained by any classical (local-realistic) theory. The relative strength of quantum and classical correlations is usually
A Conjecture on the Amount of Non-Locality
Imagine a world in which there exist physical resources for non-local correlations whose CHSH value lies between 2 and $X\leq 4$. Assume that such resources can be mixed in some sense. Using Connes's
Genuine network quantum nonlocality and self-testing
• Physics
Physical Review A
• 2022
The network structure offers in principle the possibility for novel forms of quantum nonlocal correlations, that are proper to networks and cannot be traced back to standard quantum Bell nonlocality.
Limits on nonlocal correlations from the structure of the local state space

The outcomes of measurements on entangled quantum systems can be nonlocally correlated. However, while it is easy to write down toy theories allowing arbitrary nonlocal correlations, those allowed in

It is proposed that certain features of quantum mechanics may be perspectival effects, which arise because experiments performed on locally accessible variables can only uncover a certain subset of
Exploring the Local Orthogonality Principle
• Physics

Nonlocality is arguably one of the most fundamental and counterintuitive aspects of quantum theory. Nonlocal correlations could, however, be even more nonlocal than quantum theory allows, while still
