We use Bub's (2016) correlation arrays and Pitowksy's (1989b) correlation polytopes to analyze an experimental setup due to Mermin (1981) for measurements on the singlet state of a pair of spin-$\frac12$ particles. The class of correlations…
Matrix pencils provide a robust method for finding simultaneous eigensystems of mutually commuting degenerate operators. In this paper, we utilize these techniques to investigate the quantum logical structures of the Peres-Mermin square and…
The Kochen-Specker theorem, Bell inequalities, and several other tests that were designed to rule out hidden-variable theories, assume the existence of observables having infinitely sharp eigenvalues. A paradigmatic example is spin-1/2. It…
We propose a new version of the matrix product (MP) states approach to the description of quantum spin chains, which allows one to construct MP states with certain total spin and its z-projection. We show that previously known MP…
Decomposition of any N-partite state (density operator) into clusters (that do not overlap) is studied in detail with a view to learn as much as possible about the correlations implied by the state. The Wootters-Mermin theorem, stating that…
The Mermin-Peres magic square game is a cooperative two-player nonlocal game in which shared quantum entanglement allows the players to win with certainty, while players limited to classical operations cannot do so, a phenomenon dubbed…
The polynomial-time hierarchy ($\mathrm{PH}$) has proven to be a powerful tool for providing separations in computational complexity theory (modulo standard conjectures such as $\mathrm{PH}$ does not collapse). Here, we study whether two…
The generalized moment problem (GMP) is an infinite dimensional linear problem over the cone of finite nonnegative Borel measures. When a GMP instance involves finitely many polynomial moment constraints, moment/sum-of-squares hierarchies…
We introduce new mathematical aspects of the Bell states using matrix factorizations, nonnoetherian singularities, and noncommutative blowups. A matrix factorization of a polynomial $p$ consists of two matrices $\phi_1,\phi_2$ such that…
Within the Dempster-Schafer theory of evidence a non-Kolmogorovian kind of epistemic uncertainty arises, which is encoded using multi-valued maps. We analyse the possible implications such non-Kolmogorovian epistemic uncertainty may have…
This work investigates the implications of relaxing the measurement independence assumption in Bell's theorem by introducing a new class of local deterministic models that account for both particle preparation and measurement settings. Our…
Several central problems in quantum information theory (such as measurement compatibility and quantum steering) can be rephrased as membership in the minimal matrix convex set corresponding to special polytopes (such as the hypercube or its…
We performed an experimental test of the Kochen-Specker theorem based on an inequality derived from the Peres-Mermin proof, using spin-path (momentum) entanglement in a single neutron system. Following the strategy proposed by Cabello et…
We study the dynamical properties of the Mermin model, a simple quantum dissipative model with a monochromatic environment, using analytical and numerical methods. Our numerical results show that the model exhibits a second order phase…
It has recently been found that Bell scenarios are only a small subclass of interesting setups for studying the non-classical features of quantum theory within spacetime. We find that it is possible to talk about classical correlations,…
In an earlier work we had considered a Gaussian ensemble of random matrices in the presence of a given external matrix source. The measure is no longer unitary invariant and the usual techniques based on orthogonal polynomials, or on the…
We analyze nonclassical correlations between outcomes of measurements conducted on two spatial radiation modes. These correlations cannot be simulated with statistical mixtures of coherent states or, more generally, with non-negative…
Any attempt to introduce probabilities into quantum mechanics faces difficulties due to the mathematical structure of Hilbert space, as reflected in Birkhoff and von Neumann's proposal for a quantum logic. The (consistent or decoherent)…
We characterize the conditions under which a translationally invariant matrix product state (MPS) is invariant under local transformations. This allows us to relate the symmetry group of a given state to the symmetry group of a simple…
We develop the formalism of fermionic matrix product states (fMPS) and show how irreducible fMPS fall in two different classes, related to the different types of simple $\mathbb{Z}_2$ graded algebras, which are physically distinguished by…
