Abstract
The quantum process framework is devised as a generalization of quantum theory to incorporate indefinite causal structure. In this short paper we point out a restriction in forming products of processes: there exist both classical and quantum processes whose tensor products are not processes. Our main result is a necessary and sufficient condition for when tensor products of multipartite processes are (in)valid. We briefly discuss the implications of this restriction on process communication theory.
