• Abstract: We analyse nonclassical resources in interference phenomena using generalized noncontextuality inequalities and basis-independent coherence witnesses. We use recently proposed inequalities that witness both resources within the same framework. We also propose, in view of previous contextual advantage results, a systematic way of applying these tools to characterize advantage provided by coherence and contextuality in quantum information protocols. We instantiate this methodology for the task of quantum interrogation, famously introduced by the paradigmatic bomb-testing interferometric experiment, showing contextual quantum advantage for such a task.

  Bell tests are the most rigorous method for verifying entanglement in quantum networks. If there is any signaling between the parties, then the violation of Bell inequalities can no longer be used. We propose a semi-device independent protocol that allows us to numerically correct for effects of correlations in experimental probability distributions.

• Inequalities witnessing coherence, nonlocality, and contextuality [0.0]
  Quantum coherence, nonlocality, and contextuality are key resources for quantum advantage in metrology, communication, and computation. We introduce a graph-based approach to derive classicality inequalities that bound local, non-contextual, and coherence-free models. Our approach generalizes recently proposed basis-independent coherence witnesses, and recovers all non-contextuality inequalities of the exclusivity graph approach.

  We focus on exploring the characterisation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen inference (a.k.a. steering) A signature of non-classicality manifested when one or more parties in a Bell scenario have their systems and measurements described by quantum theory, rather than being treated as black boxes. We show that so-called almost quantum assemblages satisfy the principle of macroscopic noncontextuality, and demonstrate that a subset of almost quantum correlations recover almost quantum assemblages in this approach.

  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.

  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.

  This work defines contextuality scenarios, along with the polytope of general contextual behaviours. We formulate novel semidefinite programming relaxations for bounding these sets of quantum contextual behaviours. Most significantly, to circumvent the inadequacy of pure states and projective measurements, we present a novel unitary operator based semidefinite relaxation technique.
