• Authors: Emanuel-Cristian Boghiu and Elie Wolfe and Alejandro Pozas-Kerstjens
• Abstract summary: Inflation is a Python library for assessing whether an observed probability distribution is compatible with a causal explanation. The library is designed to be modular and with the ability of being ready-to-use, while keeping an easy access to low-level objects for custom modifications.

• Abstract: We introduce Inflation, a Python library for assessing whether an observed probability distribution is compatible with a causal explanation. This is a central problem in both theoretical and applied sciences, which has recently witnessed significant advances from the area of quantum nonlocality, namely, in the development of inflation techniques. Inflation is an extensible toolkit that is capable of solving pure causal compatibility problems and optimization over (relaxations of) sets of compatible correlations in both the classical and quantum paradigms. The library is designed to be modular and with the ability of being ready-to-use, while keeping an easy access to low-level objects for custom modifications.

• Disentangling Quantum and Classical Contributions in Hybrid Quantum Machine Learning Architectures [4.646930308096446]
  Hybrid transfer learning solutions have been developed, merging pre-trained classical models with quantum circuits. It remains unclear how much each component -- classical and quantum -- contributes to the model's results. We propose a novel hybrid architecture: instead of utilizing a pre-trained network for compression, we employ an autoencoder to derive a compressed version of the input data.

We also give a bilocal version of an observation by Tsirelson, namely that in finite dimensions, the commuting observables model and the tensor product model of locality coincide.

  We argue that the division between quantum and classical behaviors is analogous to the division of thermodynamic phases. A specific relationship between the collapse parameter $(lambda)$ and the collapse length scale ($r_C$) plays the role of the coexistence curve in usual thermodynamic phase diagrams.

  A causal structure is a description of the functional dependencies between random variables. Inflation techniques associate causal structures to a hierarchy of increasingly strict compatibility tests. In this paper, we construct a first version of the quantum inflation hierarchy that is provably convergent.

  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.
