Quantum correlations can be stronger than anything achieved by classical systems, yet they are not reaching the limit imposed by relativity. The principle of information causality offers a possible explanation for why the world is quantum and why there appear to be no even stronger correlations. Generalizing the no-signaling condition it suggests that the amount of accessible information must not be larger than the amount of transmitted information. Here we study this principle experimentally…

Optical scheme for simulating post-quantum nonlocality distillation.

This scheme provides a possible tool for the experimental study on the nonlocality in post-quantum regime and the exact physical principle precisely distinguishing physically realizable correlations from nonphysical ones.

Optical simulation of a Popescu-Rohrlich Box

The comprehensive loophole opened by the results selection within “two-state vector formalism” may be another possible explanation of why post-quantum correlations are incompatible with quantum mechanics and seem not to exist in nature.

Introduction to Quantum Foundations

This section introduces a few concepts that are central not just to quantum foundational research, but also for practical applications in quantum information theory.

Superunsteerability as a quantifiable resource for random access codes assisted by Bell-diagonal states

This work proposes a quantifier of superunsteerability and obtains its analytical expression in the context of the two- and three-setting steering scenarios that are directly related to the quantum RAC protocols, respectively, and yields optimal quantum efficiency for both protocols.

Limit on nonlocality in any world in which communication complexity is not trivial.

A partial answer to the question why are the correlations achievable by quantum mechanics not maximal among those that preserve causality is given by showing that slightly stronger correlations would result in a world in which communication complexity becomes trivial.

Macroscopically local correlations can violate information causality.

It is shown that the two above-mentioned principles, information causality and macroscopic locality, are inequivalent: if the correlations allowed by nature were the ones satisfying ML, IC would be violated, giving more confidence in IC as a physical principle.

Nonlocal correlations as an information-theoretic resource

It is well known that measurements performed on spatially separated entangled quantum systems can give rise to correlations that are nonlocal, in the sense that a Bell inequality is violated. They…

Information causality as a physical principle

It is suggested that information causality—a generalization of the no-signalling condition—might be one of the foundational properties of nature and help to distinguish physical theories from non-physical ones.

A glance beyond the quantum model

One of the most important problems in physics is to reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity, and some authors have suggested that this may be realized at the expense of having to drop the…

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.

Quantum nonlocality and beyond: limits from nonlocal computation.

This work addresses the problem of "nonlocal computation," in which separated parties must compute a function without any individual learning anything about the inputs, and provides intriguing insights into the limits of quantum information processing, the nature of quantum nonlocality, and the differences between quantum and stronger-than-quantum nonlocal correlations.

On Bell inequality violations with high-dimensional systems

Quantum correlations resulting in violations of Bell inequalities have generated a lot of interest in quantum information science and fundamental physics. In this paper, we address some questions…

Recovering part of the boundary between quantum and nonquantum correlations from information causality

It is shown that part of the boundary of quantum correlations actually emerges from information causality, which is a good candidate for an information-theoretic principle that would single out quantum correlations among more general nonsignaling models.

Implausible consequences of superstrong nonlocality

It is shown that the existence of maximally superstrong correlated bits implies that all distributed computations can be performed with a trivial amount of communication, i.e. with one bit.
