• Title: Towards correlation self-testing of quantum theory in the adaptive Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt game
• Authors: Mirjam Weilenmann and Roger Colbeck
• Abstract summary: Correlation self-testing of a theory addresses the question of whether we can identify the set of correlations realisable in a theory from its performance in a particular information processing task. This is the first step towards a general solution that could rule out all theories in which the set of realisable correlations does not coincide with the quantum set.

• Abstract: Correlation self-testing of a theory addresses the question of whether we can identify the set of correlations realisable in a theory from its performance in a particular information processing task. Applied to quantum theory it aims to identify an information processing task whose optimal performance is achieved only by theories realising the same correlations as quantum theory in any causal structure. In [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125 060406 (2020)] we introduced a candidate task for this, the adaptive CHSH game. Here, we analyse the maximum probability of winning this game in different generalised probabilistic theories. We show that theories with a joint state space given by the minimal or the maximal tensor product are inferior to quantum theory, before considering other tensor products in theories whose elementary systems have various two-dimensional state spaces. For these, we find no theories that outperform quantum theory in the adaptive CHSH game and prove that it is impossible to recover the quantum performance in various cases. This is the first step towards a general solution that, if successful, will have wide-ranging consequences, in particular, enabling an experiment that could rule out all theories in which the set of realisable correlations does not coincide with the quantum set.

• Spectral chaos bounds from scaling theory of maximally efficient quantum-dynamical scrambling [49.1574468325115]
  A key conjecture about the evolution of complex quantum systems towards an ergodic steady state, known as scrambling, is that this process acquires universal features when it is most efficient. We develop a single- parameter scaling theory for the spectral statistics in this scenario, which embodies exact self-similarity of the spectral correlations along the complete scrambling dynamics. We establish that scaling predictions are matched by a privileged process, and serve as bounds for other dynamical scrambling scenarios, allowing one to quantify inefficient or incomplete scrambling on all timescales.

  General Probabilistic Theories (GPTs) is a new information theoretical approach to single out standard quantum theory. We focus on the bound of the performance for an information task called state discrimination in general models. We characterize standard quantum theory out of general models in GPTs by the bound of the performance for state discrimination.

Next, we prove how the generalization error bound of QGANs depends on the employed Ansatz, the number of qudits, and input states.

  We ask whether there are tasks that can only be performed in theories that have the same correlations as quantum mechanics in any scenario. We present a candidate task for such a correlation self-test and analyse it in a range of generalised probabilistic theories. We show that none of these perform better than quantum theory.
