• Abstract: In this work a quantum analogue of Bayesian inference is considered. Based on the notion of instrument, we propose a quantum analogue of Bayes' rule, which elaborates how a prior normal state updates under observations. Besides, we investigate the limit of posterior normal state as the number of observations goes to infinity. After that, we generalize the fundamental notions and results of Bayesian inference according to quantum Bayes' rule. It is noted that our theory not only retains the classical one as a special case but possesses many new features as well.

  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.

• Bayesian retrodiction of quantum supermaps [0.27195102129094995]
  We study a higher-order generalization of the quantum Bayes' rule by considering a quantum process undergoing a quantum supermap. For a few families of initial beliefs, we show that a similar unification is possible -- the rules to update the belief of quantum channels can be implemented via a "reverse" quantum supermap.

  Bayes' rule $mathbbP(B|A)mathbbP(A)=mathbbP(A|B)mathbbP(B)$ is one of the simplest yet most profound, ubiquitous, and far-reaching results of classical probability theory. Many attempts have been made to extend this rule to quantum systems, the significance of which we are only beginning to understand.

  We put forth a new theoretical framework for merging quantum information science and causal inference by exploiting entropic principles. We apply our proposed framework to an experimentally relevant scenario of identifying message senders on quantum noisy links. This approach can lay the foundations of identifying originators of malicious activity on future multi-node quantum networks.

• 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.
