• Abstract: The realistic interpretation of classical theory assumes that every classical system has well-defined properties, which may be unknown to the observer but are nevertheless part of reality and can in principle be revealed by measurements. Here we show that this interpretation can in principle be falsified if classical systems coexist with other types of physical systems. To make this point, we construct a toy theory that (i) includes classical theory as a subtheory and (ii) allows classical systems to be entangled with another type of systems, called anti-classical. We show that our toy theory allows for the violation of Bell inequalities in two-party scenarios where one of the settings corresponds to a local measurement performed on a classical system alone. Building on this fact, we show that measurements outcomes in classical theory cannot, in general, be regarded as pre-determined by the state of an underlying reality.

• An operational notion of classicality based on physical principles [0.0]
  We analyse how observations in experiments can be described using some physical states of reality. Using the ontological models framework, we formulate a novel notion of classicality termed ontic-distinguishability. We show that violation of previously known notions of classicality such as preparation non-contextuality and Bell's local causality is a violation of ontic-distinguishability.

• Quantum Darwinism and the spreading of classical information in non-classical theories [0.0]
  Quantum Darwinism posits that the emergence of a classical reality relies on the spreading of classical information from a quantum system to many parts of its environment. We find that every theory with non-classical features that admits this idealized spreading of classical information must have both entangled states and entangled measurements. Our result suggests the counter-intuitive general principle that in the presence of local non-classicality, a classical world can only emerge if this non-classicality can be "amplified" to a form of entanglement.

  An operational probabilistic theory where all systems are classical, and all pure states of composite systems are entangled, is constructed. We demonstrate that the presence of entanglement is independent of the existence of incompatible measurements. We also prove the existence, in the theory, of a universal processor.

• Pure-state density matrix that competently describes classical chaos [0.0]
  We work with reference to a well-known semiclassical model, in which quantum degrees of freedom interact with classical ones. We show that, in the classical limit, it is possible to represent classical results by means a pure-state density matrix.

• Emergence of classical behavior in the early universe [68.8204255655161]
  Three notions are often assumed to be essentially equivalent, representing different facets of the same phenomenon. We analyze them in general Friedmann-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker space-times through the lens of geometric structures on the classical phase space. The analysis shows that: (i) inflation does not play an essential role; classical behavior can emerge much more generally; (ii) the three notions are conceptually distinct; classicality can emerge in one sense but not in another.
