• Title: Investigating the Global Properties of a Resource Theory of Contextuality
• Authors: Tiago Santos and Barbara Amaral
• Abstract summary: We will investigate some properties of a resource theory for quantum contextuality. This characteristic ensures the impossibility of interpreting the results of quantum measurements as revealing properties that are independent of the set of measurements being made. We will use the so called cost and yield monotones, extending the results of reference Quantum 4, 280 ( 2020) to general contextuality scenarios.

• Abstract: Resource theories constitute a powerful theoretical framework and a tool that captures, in an abstract structure, pragmatic aspects of the most varied theories and processes. For physical theories, while this framework deals directly with questions about the concrete possibilities of carrying out tasks and processes, resource theories also make it possible to recast these already established theories on a new language, providing not only new perspectives on the potential of physical phenomena as valuable resources for technological development, for example, but they also provide insights into the very foundations of these theories. In this work, we will investigate some properties of a resource theory for quantum contextuality, an essential characteristic of quantum phenomena that ensures the impossibility of interpreting the results of quantum measurements as revealing properties that are independent of the set of measurements being made. We will present the resource theory to be studied and investigate certain global properties of this theory using tools and methods that, although already developed and studied by the community in other resource theories, had not yet been used to characterize resource theories of contextuality. In particular, we will use the so called cost and yield monotones, extending the results of reference Quantum 4, 280 (2020) to general contextuality scenarios.

  Resource theory of imaginarity has been introduced, allowing for a systematic study of complex numbers in quantum mechanics and quantum information theory. We investigate imaginarity quantification, focusing on the geometric imaginarity and the robustness of imaginarity, and apply these tools to the state conversion problem in imaginarity theory. Our study reveals the significance of complex numbers in quantum physics, and proves that imaginarity is a resource in optical experiments.

We introduce methods for the quantification of resources in general probabilistic theories (GPTs) We show that a given resource state enables in channel discrimination tasks over all resourceless states. We demonstrate applications of the robustness to several resources of physical relevance: optical nonclassicality, entanglement, genuine non-Gaussianity, and coherence.

  We propose an alternative interpretation that identifies NNs as chain graphs (CGs) and feed-forward as an approximate inference procedure. The CG interpretation specifies the nature of each NN component within the rich theoretical framework of probabilistic graphical models. We demonstrate with concrete examples that the CG interpretation can provide novel theoretical support and insights for various NN techniques.
