• Title: Relational Quantum Mechanics and Contextuality
• Authors: Calum J. Robson,
• Abstract summary: I examine how to approach quantum logic in the consistent histories formalism can be used to clarify what information about a system can be shared between different observers. I suggest that the mathematical framework for Consistent Histories can should be incorporated into RQM, whilst being clear on the differences, whilst being clear on the interpretational differences between the two approaches.

• Abstract: This paper discusses the question of Stable Facts in Relational Quantum Mechanics. I examine how the approach to quantum logic in the consistent histories formalism can be used to clarify what information about a system can be shared between different observers.I suggest that the mathematical framework for Consistent Histories can and should be incorporated into RQM, whilst being clear on the interpretational differences between the two approaches. Finally I briefly discuss two related issues: the similarities and differences between special relativity and RQM and the recent Cross- Perspectival Links modification to RQM.

• Quantum State Transfer in Interacting, Multiple-Excitation Systems [41.94295877935867]
  Quantum state transfer (QST) describes the coherent passage of quantum information from one node to another. We describe Monte Carlo techniques which enable the discovery of a Hamiltonian that gives high-fidelity QST. The resulting Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard and periodic Anderson models can, in principle, be engineered in appropriate hardware to give efficient QST.

• Relational Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Relativism, and the Iteration of Relativity [0.0]
  The idea that the dynamical properties of quantum systems are invariably relative to other systems has recently regained currency. Are there absolute facts about the properties one system possesses relative to a specified reference, or is this again a relative matter, and so on? I conclude with some reflections on the current state of play in perspectivist versions of RQM and quantum relativism more generally.

• The Combination Problem for Relational Quantum Mechanics [0.0]
  I consider various proposed solutions to the panpsychist problem, assessing the prospects for a similar solution in the context of RQM. I argue that overall the prospects for solving RQM's combination problem look better for RQM with cross-perspective links than for orthodox versions of RQM.

• Applications of flow models to the generation of correlated lattice QCD ensembles [69.18453821764075]
  Machine-learned normalizing flows can be used in the context of lattice quantum field theory to generate statistically correlated ensembles of lattice gauge fields at different action parameters. This work demonstrates how these correlations can be exploited for variance reduction in the computation of observables.

• Relational Quantum Mechanics with Cross-Perspective Links Postulate: an Internally Inconsistent Scheme [0.0]
  We discuss the status of relative facts in the context of the new amendment to RQM called cross-perspective links. We show that RQM with cross-perspective links axiom is an internally inconsistent hidden variable theory.

  We introduce the Q-information: an information-theoretic measure capable of distinguishing quantum states dominated by synergy or redundancy. We show that quantum systems need at least four variables to exhibit high-order properties. Overall, the Q-information sheds light on novel aspects of the internal organisation of quantum systems and their time evolution.

• Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.
