• Abstract summary: Even the most classical states are still governed by quantum theory. A fantastic array of physical systems can be described by their Majorana constellations of points on the surface of a sphere. If these points are chosen randomly, how quantum will the resultant state be, on average? We explore this simple conceptual question in detail, investigating the quantum properties of the resulting random states.

• Abstract: Even the most classical states are still governed by quantum theory. A fantastic array of physical systems can be described by their Majorana constellations of points on the surface of a sphere, where concentrated constellations and highly symmetric distributions correspond to the least and most quantum states, respectively. If these points are chosen randomly, how quantum will the resultant state be, on average? We explore this simple conceptual question in detail, investigating the quantum properties of the resulting random states. We find classical states to be far from the norm, even in the large-number-of-particles limit, where classical intuition often replaces quantum properties, making random Majorana constellations peculiar, intriguing, and useful.

• Operationally classical simulation of quantum states [41.94295877935867]
  A classical state-preparation device cannot generate superpositions and hence its emitted states must commute. We show that no such simulation exists, thereby certifying quantum coherence. Our approach is a possible avenue to understand how and to what extent quantum states defy generic models based on classical devices.

  It is shown that quantum and classical predictions converge as the number of qubits is increases to the macroscopic scale. This way to explain the classical limit concurs with, and improves, a result previously reported for GHZ states.

• Area laws from classical entropies [0.0]
  The area law-like scaling of local quantum entropies is the central characteristic of the entanglement inherent in quantum fields, many-body systems, and spacetime. We show that it equally manifests in classical entropies over measurement distributions when vacuum contributions dictated by the uncertainty principle are subtracted.

  The superposition principle is one of the most fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. Here we demonstrate the preparation of a mechanical resonator with an effective mass of 16.2 micrograms in Schr"odinger cat states of motion. We show control over the size and phase of the superposition and investigate the decoherence dynamics of these states.

• Measurement of a quantum system with a classical apparatus using ensembles on configuration space [0.48733623015338234]
  We use the approach of ensembles on configurations space to give a detailed account of a classical apparatus measuring the position of a quantum particle. We show that the probability of the pointer of the classical apparatus is left in a state that corresponds to the probability of the quantum particle. Since this formalism incorporates uncertainties and finite measurement precision, it is well suited for metrological applications.

• No-signalling constrains quantum computation with indefinite causal structure [45.279573215172285]
  We develop a formalism for quantum computation with indefinite causal structures. We characterize the computational structure of higher order quantum maps. We prove that these rules, which have a computational and information-theoretic nature, are determined by the more physical notion of the signalling relations between the quantum systems.

• Preparing random states and benchmarking with many-body quantum chaos [48.044162981804526]
  We show how to predict and experimentally observe the emergence of random state ensembles naturally under time-independent Hamiltonian dynamics. The observed random ensembles emerge from projective measurements and are intimately linked to universal correlations built up between subsystems of a larger quantum system. Our work has implications for understanding randomness in quantum dynamics, and enables applications of this concept in a wider context.
