• Abstract: Information causality was initially proposed as a physical principle aimed at deriving the predictions of quantum mechanics on the type of correlations observed in the Bell experiment. In the same work, information causality was famously shown to imply the Uffink inequality that approximates the set of quantum correlations and rederives Tsirelson's bound of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality. This result found limited generalizations due to the difficulty of deducing implications of the information causality principle on the set of nonlocal correlations. In this paper, we present a simple technique for obtaining polynomial inequalities from information causality, bounding the set of physical correlations in any Bell scenario. To demonstrate our method, we derive a family of inequalities which non-trivially constrains the set of nonlocal correlations in Bell scenarios with binary outcomes and equal number of measurement settings. Finally, we propose an improved statement of the information causality principle, obtain tighter constraints for the simplest Bell scenario that goes beyond the Uffink inequality, and recovers a part of the boundary of the quantum set.

  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.

  Variational quantum computing schemes train a loss function by sending an initial state through a parametrized quantum circuit. Despite their promise, the trainability of these algorithms is hindered by barren plateaus. We present a general Lie algebra that provides an exact expression for the variance of the loss function of sufficiently deep parametrized quantum circuits.

  A quantum perspective of correlations holds the promise of overcoming the limitation by Reichenbach's principle. We have devised an algorithm capable of identifying any two-qubit statistical correlations generated by the two basic causal structures under an observational scenario. Our result paves the way for studying quantum causality in general settings.

  Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality. This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment. It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.
