• Abstract: A hidden variables model complying with the simplest form of Local Realism was recently introduced, which reproduces Quantum Mechanics' predictions for an even ideally perfect Bell's experiment. This is possible thanks to the use of a non-Boolean vector hidden variable. Yet, that model is as far as Quantum Mechanics from the goal of providing a complete description of physical reality in the EPR-sense. Such complete description includes the capacity to calculate, from the values taken by the hidden variables, the time values when particles are detected. This can be achieved by replacing Born's rule (which allow calculating only probabilities) with a deterministic condition for particle detection. The simplest choice is a threshold condition on the hidden variables. However, in order to test this choice, a new type of quantum (or wave, or non-Boolean) computer is necessary. This new type of quantum computer does not exist yet, not even in theory. In this paper, a classical (Boolean) computer code is presented which mimics the operation of that new type of quantum computer by using contextual instructions. These instructions take into account a consequence of the principle of superposition (which is a typical vector, i.e. non-Boolean, feature). Numerical results generated by the mimicking code are analyzed. They illustrate the features the hypothetical new type of quantum computer's output may have, and show how and why some intuitive assumptions about Bell's experiment fail.

  We analyze when quantum learning models can produce predictions in a near-deterministic way. We show that the degree to which a quantum learning model is near-deterministic is constrained by the distinguishability of the embedded quantum states. We conclude by showing that quantum learning models cannot be single-shot in a generic way and trainable at the same time.

• Simple Tests of Quantumness Also Certify Qubits [69.96668065491183]
  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

We show that it is in general impossible to realize a two-party quantum functionality with black-box simulation in the case of malicious quantum adversaries. We provide a compiler that takes as input a classical proof of quantum knowledge (PoQK) protocol for a QMA relation R and outputs a zero-knowledge PoQK for R that can be verified by classical parties.

• 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.
