• Title: Comment on "Vindication of entanglement-based witnesses of non-classicality in hybrid systems"
• Authors: Michael J. W. Hall and Marcel Reginatto
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Models of quantum-classical interactions fall into two classes: those which allow the generation of quantum entanglement via a classical mediator (such as gravity), and those which do not. Marconato and Marletto have recently sought to distinguish between these classes by claiming that known members of the first class (based on the configuration-ensemble formalism introduced by us) fail to model the mediator as a 'classical' system, and are nonlocal. We explicitly show that this claim is incorrect, and expose a large number of errors and misconceptions in their reasoning. We also point to a very simple and transparent example of the generation of entanglement between two qubits via a classical bit. 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 clarify the reasons for the limited applicability of various no-go theorems for entanglement generation.

  We present three statistical descriptions for systems of classical particles and consider their extension to hybrid quantum-classical systems. The approach of ensembles on phase space and the Hilbert space approach, which are novel, lead to equivalent hybrid models.

  We build over a proposed framework for evaluating the generalization performance of generative models. We establish the first comparative race towards practical quantum advantage (PQA) between classical and quantum generative models. Our results suggest that QCBMs are more efficient in the data-limited regime than the other state-of-the-art classical generative models.

A number of models are discussed, which are receiving today new or renewed interest in mathematical physics, in particular from the point of view of realising certain operators of interests self-adjointly.

• Vindication of entanglement-based witnesses of non-classicality in hybrid systems [0.0]
  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.

• Emergence of classical behavior in the early universe [68.8204255655161]
  Three notions are often assumed to be essentially equivalent, representing different facets of the same phenomenon. We analyze them in general Friedmann-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker space-times through the lens of geometric structures on the classical phase space. The analysis shows that: (i) inflation does not play an essential role; classical behavior can emerge much more generally; (ii) the three notions are conceptually distinct; classicality can emerge in one sense but not in another.
