• Title: No Bipartite-Nonlocal Causal Theory Can Explain Nature's Correlations
• Authors: Xavier Coiteux-Roy, Elie Wolfe and Marc-Olivier Renou
• Abstract summary: We show that some tripartite quantum correlations are inexplicable by any causal theory involving bipartite nonclassical common causes and unlimited shared randomness. This constitutes a device-independent proof that Nature's nonlocality is fundamentally at least tripartite in every conceivable physical theory.

• Abstract: We show that some tripartite quantum correlations are inexplicable by any causal theory involving bipartite nonclassical common causes and unlimited shared randomness. This constitutes a device-independent proof that Nature's nonlocality is fundamentally at least tripartite in every conceivable physical theory - no matter how exotic. To formalize this claim we are compelled to substitute Svetlichny's historical definition of genuine tripartite nonlocality with a novel theory-agnostic definition tied to the framework of Local Operations and Shared Randomness (LOSR). A companion article [PRA. 104, 052207 (2021)] generalizes these concepts to any number of parties, providing experimentally amenable device-independent inequality constraints along with quantum correlations violating them, thereby certifying that Nature's nonlocality must be boundlessly multipartite.

  Nonlocality captures one of the counterintuitive features of nature that defies classical intuition. Recent investigations reveal that our physical world's nonlocality is at least tripartite. We experimentally demonstrate such genuine tripartite nonlocality in a network under strict locality constraints.

  One of the key ways in which quantum mechanics differs from relativity is that it requires a fixed background reference frame for spacetime. A combination of the two theories is expected to yield non-classical, or "indefinite", causal structures. We present a background-independent formulation of the process matrix formalism.
