Questions tagged [non-locality]

For questions about the phenomena related to correlations among distant observers. For example, this tag should be used for questions about Bell or CHSH inequalities, or for questions about quantum steering.

The phenomenon by which measurements made at a microscopic level can contradict a collection of notions known as "local realism" that are regarded as intuitively true in classical mechanics. Some observations about the correlations among multiple parties, while correctly predicted by quantum mechanics, can be proved to be impossible to achieve via local hidden variable theories.

What is the relationship between the Toffoli gate and the Popescu-Rohrlich box?

Background The Toffoli gate is a 3-input, 3-output classical logic gate. It sends $(x, y, a)$ to $(x, y, a \oplus (x \cdot y))$. It is significant in that it is universal for reversible (classical) computation. The Popescu-Rohrlich box is the…

What are the vertices of the no-signalling set $\mathcal{NS}$?

Consider the standard 2-2 Bell scenario, with two parties each one choosing between two measurement settings, with each measurement setting leading to one of two possible measurement outcomes. Consider the space of possible corresponding behaviours,…

Is the boundary of the set of quantum behaviours a polytope?

Consider the standard 2-2 Bell scenario, with two parties each one choosing between two measurement settings, with each measurement setting leading to one of two possible measurement outcomes. Consider the space of possible corresponding behaviours,…
