• Abstract: Causal inequalities are device-independent constraints on correlations realizable via local operations under the assumption of definite causal order between these operations. While causal inequalities in the bipartite scenario require nonclassical resources within the process-matrix framework for their violation, there exist tripartite causal inequalities that admit violations with classical resources. The tripartite case puts into question the status of a causal inequality violation as a witness of nonclassicality, i.e., there is no a priori reason to believe that quantum effects are in general necessary for a causal inequality violation. Here we propose antinomicity as a notion of nonclassicality for correlations in the presence of indefinite causality and prove strict inclusions between correlation sets classified by their antinomicity. This article provides a causal perspective on antinomicity, complementing the device-independent perspective adopted in arXiv:2411.11397. Besides providing important background to the results reported in arXiv:2411.11397, including proofs of key technical results, we also define a weight-based measure for the antinomicity of correlations that we term the antinomy weight of a correlation. We then investigate antinomic correlations in bipartite and tripartite scenarios with binary settings and outcomes. In doing so, we discover antinomic correlations that are impossible in the process-matrix framework.

  We explore the relationship between causality, symmetry, and compression. We build on and generalize the known connection between learning and compression to a setting where causal models are not identifiable. We define algorithmic causality as an alternative definition of causality when traditional assumptions for causal identifiability do not hold.

• No quantum advantage for violating fixed-order inequalities? [0.0]
  In quantum theory, the causal relations between operations are fixed. We study the k-cycle inequalities and show that the quantum switch violates these inequalities without exploiting its indefinite nature. It is believed that a device-independent certification of its causal indefiniteness requires extended setups incorporating spacelike separation.

  We provide a general method for bounding the violation of arbitrary causal inequalities. We prove that the maximum violation is generally smaller than the algebraic maximum. Surprisingly, we find that the algebraic maximum of arbitrary causal inequalities can be achieved by a new type of processes.

• Classifying Causal Structures: Ascertaining when Classical Correlations are Constrained by Inequalities [0.0]
  We develop methods for detecting causal scenarios that impose inequality constraints versus those which do not. Many scenarios with exclusively equality constraints can be detected via a condition articulated by Henson, Lal and Pusey. We are able to resolve all but three causal scenarios, providing evidence that the HLP condition is, in fact, exhaustive.

  In quadratic fermionic models we determine a quantum correction to the work statistics after a sudden and a time-dependent driving. Such a correction lies in the non-commutativity of the initial quantum state and the time-dependent Hamiltonian. Thanks to the latter, one can assess the onset of non-classical signatures in the KDQ distribution of work.

• Fairness and robustness in anti-causal prediction [73.693135253335]
  Robustness to distribution shift and fairness have independently emerged as two important desiderata required of machine learning models. While these two desiderata seem related, the connection between them is often unclear in practice. By taking this perspective, we draw explicit connections between a common fairness criterion - separation - and a common notion of robustness.

  We propose Active Bayesian Causal Inference (ABCI), a fully-Bayesian active learning framework for integrated causal discovery and reasoning. ABCI jointly infers a posterior over causal models and queries of interest. We show that our approach is more data-efficient than several baselines that only focus on learning the full causal graph.

• Anomalous non-classicality via correlative and entropic Bell inequalities [0.0]
  We find that the violation of the correlative Bell inequality does not entail a violation of the correlative Bell inequality for certain parameter values. This anomaly helps to precisely qualify the type of non-classical resource. We identify the 'exotic' type that gives rise to non-classical resources under all non-equivalent operational party assignments.
