• Authors: Caroline L. Jones, Stefan L. Ludescher, Albert Aloy, Markus P. Mueller
• Abstract summary: We introduce a class of semi-device-independent protocols based on the breaking of spacetime symmetries. In particular, we characterise how the response of physical systems to spatial rotations constrains the probabilities of events that may be observed. Our results allow for the generation of secure random numbers without trusting the devices or assuming quantum theory.

• Abstract: We introduce a class of semi-device-independent protocols based on the breaking of spacetime symmetries. In particular, we characterise how the response of physical systems to spatial rotations constrains the probabilities of events that may be observed: in our setup, the set of quantum correlations arises from rotational symmetry without assuming quantum physics. On a practical level, our results allow for the generation of secure random numbers without trusting the devices or assuming quantum theory. On a fundamental level, we open a theory-agnostic framework for probing the interplay between probabilities of events (as prevalent in quantum mechanics) and the properties of spacetime (as prevalent in relativity).

• Exact finite-time correlation functions for multi-terminal setups: Connecting theoretical frameworks for quantum transport and thermodynamics [11.061707876645764]
  Transport in open quantum systems can be explored through various theoretical frameworks, including the quantum master equation, scattering matrix, and Heisenberg equation of motion. Existing literature treats these approaches independently, lacking a unified perspective. Our work addresses this gap by clarifying the role and status of these approaches using a minimal single-level quantum dot model in a two-terminal setup.

  We prove that quantum theory admits the most general rotational correlations for spins 0, 1/2, and 1. We also prove a metrological game where beyond-quantum resources of spin 3/2 outperform all quantum resources of the same spin. Results illuminate the question of how space constrains the structure of quantum theory.

  We give an explicit quantum causal inference scheme using quantum observations alone. We derive a closed-form expression for the space-time pseudo-density matrix associated with many times and qubits. We prove that if there is no signalling between two subsystems, the associated reduced state of the pseudo-density matrix cannot have negativity.

• 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.
