Tsirelson's problem asks whether the set of nonlocal quantum correlations with a tensor product structure for the Hilbert space coincides with the one where only commutativity between observables located at different sites is assumed. Here it is shown that Kirchberg's QWEP conjecture on tensor products of C*-algebras would imply a positive answer to this question for all bipartite scenarios. This remains true also if one considers not only spatial correlations, but also spatiotemporal…

Connes' embedding problem and Tsirelson's problem
We show that Tsirelson's problem concerning the set of quantum correlations and Connes' embedding problem on finite approximations in von Neumann algebras (known to be equivalent to Kirchberg's QWEP…
Tsirelson's problems and entanglement breaking rank
TLDR
This thesis shows that the quantum correlation set is not closed hence solving one of Tsirelson’s problem and also improves the results of Slofstra by reducing the number of experiments and outcomes to five and two, respectively.
Tsirelson’s problem and an embedding theorem for groups arising from non-local games
Tsirelson’s problem asks whether the commuting operator model for two-party quantum correlations is equivalent to the tensor-product model. We give a negative answer to this question by showing that…
Unitary Correlation Sets and their Applications
We relate Connes’ embedding problem in operator algebras to the Brown algebra Unc(n), which is defined as the universal unital C∗-algebra generated by the entries of an n × n unitary matrix. In…
Almost synchronous quantum correlations
The study of quantum correlation sets initiated by Tsirelson in the 1980s and originally motivated by questions in the foundations of quantum mechanics has more recently been tied to questions in…
A Combinatorial Approach to Nonlocality and Contextuality
AbstractSo far, most of the literature on (quantum) contextuality and the Kochen–Specker theorem seems either to concern particular examples of contextuality, or be considered as quantum logic. Here,…
Perfect Embezzlement of Entanglement
TLDR
It is proved that perfect embezzlement is impossible in a tensor product framework, even with infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and infinite entanglement entropy, and that it is possible in a commuting operator framework.
Characterizing and witnessing multipartite correlations : from nonlocality to contextuality
In the past century, experimental discoveries have witnessed phenomena in Nature which challenge our everyday classical intuition. In order to explain these facts, quantum theory was developed, which…
Remark on negative solution to the Tsirelson conjecture about quantum correlations
Recently it was proved [arXiv:2001.04383] that a closure of the set of spatial quantum correlations is strictly less than the set of commuting quantum correlations. Thus, the famous Tsirelson…
Constant gap between conventional strategies and those based on C*-dynamics for self-embezzlement
We consider a bipartite transformation that we call \emph{self-embezzlement} and use it to prove a constant gap between the capabilities of two models of quantum information: the conventional model,…

Tsirelson's Problem
The situation of two independent observers conducting measurements on a joint quantum system is usually modelled using a Hilbert space of tensor product form, each factor associated to one observer.…
A convergent hierarchy of semidefinite programs characterizing the set of quantum correlations
TLDR
It is shown that in some cases it is possible to conclude that a given set of correlations is quantum after performing only a finite number of tests, and used in particular to bound the quantum violation of various Bell inequalities.
Nuclearity Related Properties in Operator Systems
Some recent research on the tensor products of operator systems and ensuing nuclearity properties in this setting raised many stability problems. In this paper we examine the preservation of these…

A Physical Approach to Tsirelson’s Problem
TLDR
This paper introduces quansality, a new theoretical concept that allows to reinterpret Tsirelson’s problem from a foundational point of view and recovers all known results on Tsire lson's problem in a clear and intuitive way.
