We specify for a general correlation scenario a particular type of a local quasi hidden variable (LqHV) model [J. Math. Phys. 53 (2012), 022201] -- a deterministic LqHV model, where all joint probability distributions of a correlation…
Three classes of local hidden-variable models that violate both Bell and Leggett inequalities are presented. The models, however, do not reproduce the quantum mechanical predictions, hence they are experimentally testable. It is concluded…

The squares of the three components of the spin-s operators sum up to $s(s+1)$. However, a similar relation is rarely satisfied by the set of possible spin projections onto mutually orthogonal directions. This has fundamental consequences…
A central aspect of quantum information is that correlations between spacelike separated observers sharing entangled states cannot be reproduced by local hidden variable (LHV) models, a phenomenon known as Bell nonlocality. If one wishes to…

All physical laws are described as relationships between state variables that give a complete and non-redundant description of the relevant system dynamics. However, despite the prevalence of computing power and AI, the process of…
We demonstrate that quantum fluctuations can cause, under certain conditions, the dynamical instability of pure states that can result in their evolution into mixed states. It is shown that the degree and type of such an instability are…

We consider the interaction dynamics of a classical oscillator and a quantum two-level system for different pure-dephasing Hamiltonians of the type $\widehat{H}(q,p)=H_C(q,p)\boldsymbol{1}+H_I(q,p)\widehat\sigma_z$. This type of systems…

The apparent difficulty in recovering classical nonlinear dynamics and chaos from standard quantum mechanics has been the subject of a great deal of interest over the last twenty years. For open quantum systems - those coupled to a…
Classical nonlinear theories are highly successful in describing far-from-equilibrium dynamics of magnets, encompassing phenomena such as parametric resonance, ultrafast switching, and even chaos. However, at ultrashort length and time…
We present methods of finding complex eigenvalues of the Liouvillian of an open quantum system. The goal is to find eigenvalues that cannot be predicted from the eigenvalues of the corresponding Hamiltonian. Our model is a T-type quantum…
Bell's seminal work showed that no local hidden variable (LHV) model can fully reproduce the quantum correlations of a two-qubit singlet state. His argument and later developments by Clauser et al. effectively rely on gaps between the…

In quantum field theory, virtual particles are carriers of relativistic wave fields, participate in vacuum fluctuations, and are a consequence of the implementation of the quantum uncertainty mechanism. Virtual particles, playing a…
