• Title: Vindication of entanglement-based witnesses of non-classicality in hybrid systems
• Authors: Emanuele Marconato, Chiara Marletto
• Abstract summary: Vedral and one of us proposed an entanglement-based witness of non-classicality in systems that need not obey quantum theory. Hall and Reginatto claimed that there are classical systems that can entangle two quantum systems, thus violating our proposed witness. Here we refute that claim, explaining that the counterexample proposed by Hall and Reginatto in fact validates the witness.

• Abstract: Recently, Vedral and one of us proposed an entanglement-based witness of non-classicality in systems that need not obey quantum theory, based on constructor-information-theoretic ideas, which offers a robust foundation for recently proposed table-top tests of non-classicality in gravity. The witness asserts that if a mediator can entangle locally two quantum systems, then it has to be non-classical. Hall and Reginatto claimed that there are classical systems that can entangle two quantum systems, thus violating our proposed witness. Here we refute that claim, explaining that the counterexample proposed by Hall and Reginatto in fact validates the witness, vindicating the witness of non-classicality in its full generality.

  We derive linear and nonlinear Bell-like inequalities for networks, whose violation certifies the absence of a minimum number of classical sources in them. We insert this assumption, which leads to results more amenable to certification in experiments.

  Topological subsystem codes allow for quantum error correction with no time overhead, even in the presence of measurement noise. We provide a systematic construction of a class of codes in three dimensions built from abelian quantum double models in one fewer dimension. Our construction not only generalizes the recently introduced subsystem toric code, but also provides a new perspective on several aspects of the original model.

• Response to a comment on "Vindication of entanglement-based witnesses in hybrid quantum systems" [0.0]
  In a recent paper, we vindicated a general entanglement-based witness of non-classicality in hybrid quantum systems. Hall and Reginatto recently commented, claiming to expose "a huge number of errors and misconceptions" in it. But their comment contains no refutation of our arguments, nor does it expose any error or misconception in them.

• Comment on "Vindication of entanglement-based witnesses of non-classicality in hybrid systems" [0.48733623015338234]
  Models of quantum-classical interactions fall into two classes: those which allow the generation of entanglement via a classical mediator, and those which do not. We show that known members of the first class fail to model the mediator as a 'classical' system, and are nonlocal. It follows that there are models permitting the generation of entanglement via quantum-classical interactions that lie outside the remit of the theorem cited by Marconato and Marletto.

  We show that if a physical system can mediate locally the generation of entanglement between two quantum systems, then it itself must be non-classical. We do not assume any classical or quantum formalism to describe the mediating physical system.

• Quantum Mechanical description of Bell's experiment assumes Locality [91.3755431537592]
  Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality. This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment. It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.
