• Abstract: Quantum theory is compatible with scenarios in which the order of operations is indefinite. Experimental investigations of such scenarios, all of which have been based on a process known as the quantum switch, have provided demonstrations of indefinite causal order conditioned on assumptions on the devices used in the laboratory. But is a device-independent certification possible, similar to the certification of Bell nonlocality through the violation of Bell inequalities? Previous results have shown that the answer is negative if the switch is considered in isolation. Here, however, we present an inequality that can be used to device-independently certify indefinite causal order in the quantum switch in the presence of an additional spacelike-separated observer under an assumption asserting the impossibility of superluminal and retrocausal influences.

  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.

  We study the sequential DI certification of an indefinite causal order. We show that an arbitrary number of sequential DI certifications of an indefinite causal order can be achieved with a quantum switch. Our work opens the possibility of reusing the resource of an indefinite causal order multiple times in device-independent quantum information processing.

  In a semi-device-independent scenario, indefinite causal order can be demonstrated with the quantum switch. We show that correlations generated in a photonic quantum switch, in which all parties are able to collect local outcome statistics, achieve a violation of this inequality of 224 standard deviations.

  We experimentally observe the violations of Leggett-Garg-Bell's inequalities on single and multi-qubit systems. Our analysis highlights the limits of nowadays quantum platforms, showing that the above-mentioned correlation functions deviate from theoretical prediction as the number of qubits and the depth of the circuit grow.

• Semi-Device-Independent Certification of Causal Nonseparability with Trusted Quantum Inputs [0.0]
  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.

  This work focuses on the scenario when the false negative error cannot occur, even if it leads to the growth of the probability of false positive error. We establish a condition when it is possible to exclude false negative error after a finite number of queries to the quantum channel in parallel.

  Authentication of quantum sources is a crucial task in building reliable and efficient protocols for quantum-information processing. We develop a systematic approach to device-independent verification of quantum states free of IID assumptions in the finite copy regime. We show that device-independent verification can be performed with optimal sample efficiency.

• 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.

• Robust self-testing of steerable quantum assemblages and its applications on device-independent quantum certification [0.0]
  Given a Bell inequality, if its maximal quantum violation can be achieved only by a single set of measurements for each party or a single quantum state, up to local unitaries, one refers to such a phenomenon as self-testing. We propose a framework called "robust self-testing of steerable quantum assemblages" Our result is device-independent (DI), i.e., no assumption is made on the shared state and the measurement devices involved.
