• Abstract summary: We show that the gain of quantum entanglement between the masses indicates non-classicality of the states of the whole tripartite system. We derive inequalities whose violation indicates non-commutativity and non-decomposability. We give applications of these techniques in two different fields: for detecting non-classicality of gravitational interaction and in bounding the Trotter error in quantum simulations.

• Abstract: In plethora of physical situations one can distinguish a mediator -- a system that couples other, non-interacting systems. Often the mediator itself is not directly accessible to experimentation, yet it is interesting and sometimes crucial to understand if it admits non-classical properties. An example of this sort that recently enjoys considerable attention are two quantum masses coupled via gravitational field. It has been argued that the gain of quantum entanglement between the masses indicates non-classicality of the states of the whole tripartite system. Here, we focus on non-classical properties of the involved interactions rather than the states. We derive inequalities whose violation indicates non-commutativity and non-decomposability (open system generalisation of non-commuting unitaries) of interactions through the mediators. The derivations are based on properties of general quantum formalism and make minimalistic assumptions about the studied systems, in particular the interactions can remain uncharacterised throughout the assessment. Furthermore, we also present conditions that solely use correlations between the coupled systems, excluding the need to measure the mediator. Next, we show that the amount of violation places a lower bound on suitably defined degree of non-decomposability. This makes the methods quantitative and at the same time experiment ready. We give applications of these techniques in two different fields: for detecting non-classicality of gravitational interaction and in bounding the Trotter error in quantum simulations.

• The role of non-classicality in mediated spatial quantum correlations [0.0]
  The study of non-classicality is essential to understand the quantum-to-classical transition in physical systems. We propose a new inequality that quantitatively links the increase in quantum correlations between the probes to the degree of non-commutativity of the mediator's observables.

• Catalysis always degrades external quantum correlations [0.0]
  We show that a system quantumly correlated with an external system so that the joint state is necessarily perturbed by any repeatable quantum measurement, also has the same property against general quantum channels. An immediate consequence is that a totally quantum system cannot catalyze any quantum process, even when a measure of correlation with its environment is arbitrarily low.

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.

• On the complex behaviour of the density in composite quantum systems [62.997667081978825]
  We study how the probability of presence of a particle is distributed between the two parts of a composite fermionic system. We prove that it is a non-perturbative property and we find out a large/small coupling constant duality. Inspired by the proof of KAM theorem, we are able to deal with this problem by introducing a cut-off in energies that eliminates these small denominators.
