• Abstract summary: Remarkably, some processes, termed causally nonseparable, are incompatible with a definite causal order. We explore a form of certification of causal nonseparability in a semi-device-independent scenario. We show that certain causally nonseparable processes which cannot violate any causal inequality, including the canonical example of the quantum switch, can generate noncausal correlations.

• Abstract: While the standard formulation of quantum theory assumes a fixed background causal structure, one can relax this assumption within the so-called process matrix framework. Remarkably, some processes, termed causally nonseparable, are incompatible with a definite causal order. We explore a form of certification of causal nonseparability in a semi-device-independent scenario where the involved parties receive trusted quantum inputs, but whose operations are otherwise uncharacterised. Defining the notion of causally nonseparable distributed measurements, we show that certain causally nonseparable processes which cannot violate any causal inequality, including the canonical example of the quantum switch, can generate noncausal correlations in such a scenario. Moreover, by imposing some further natural structure to the untrusted operations, we show that all bipartite causally nonseparable process matrices can be certified with trusted quantum inputs.

  Variational quantum computing schemes train a loss function by sending an initial state through a parametrized quantum circuit. Despite their promise, the trainability of these algorithms is hindered by barren plateaus. We present a general Lie algebra that provides an exact expression for the variance of the loss function of sufficiently deep parametrized quantum circuits.

  Causal nonseparability is the property underlying quantum processes incompatible with a definite causal order. Here we present a method solely based on the observed correlations, which certifies the causal nonseparability of all the processes that can induce a causally nonseparable distributed measurement.

  Bell tests are the most rigorous method for verifying entanglement in quantum networks. If there is any signaling between the parties, then the violation of Bell inequalities can no longer be used. We propose a semi-device independent protocol that allows us to numerically correct for effects of correlations in experimental probability distributions.

• Background Independence and Quantum Causal Structure [0.0]
  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.
