• Abstract: Generalizations of Bell's theorem, particularly within quantum networks, are now being analyzed through the causal inference lens. However, the exploration of interventions, a central concept in causality theory, remains significantly unexplored. In this work we give an initial step in this direction, by analyzing the instrumental scenario and proposing novel hybrid Bell inequalities integrating observational and interventional data. Focusing on binary outcomes with any number of inputs, we obtain the complete characterization of the observational-interventional polytope, equivalent to a Hardy-like Bell inequality albeit describing a distinct quantum experiment. To illustrate its applications, we show a significant enhancement regarding threshold detection efficiencies for quantum violations also showing the use of these hybrid approach in quantum steering scenarios.

• (Almost-)Quantum Bell Inequalities and Device-Independent Applications [3.7482527016282963]
  We present families of (almost)quantum Bell inequalities and highlight three foundational and DI applications. We derive quantum Bell inequalities that show a separation of the quantum boundary from certain portions of the no-signaling boundary of dimension up to 4k-8. We provide the most precise characterization of the quantum boundary known so far.

  This study delves into the validity of quantum mechanical operators in the context of quantum gravity. A primary objective is to investigate the repercussions of these generalizations on the inherent non-locality within quantum mechanics.

• Realization of algorithmic identification of cause and effect in quantum correlations [13.164461672508711]
  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.

• On characterising assemblages in Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen scenarios [0.0]
  We focus on exploring the characterisation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen inference (a.k.a. steering) A signature of non-classicality manifested when one or more parties in a Bell scenario have their systems and measurements described by quantum theory, rather than being treated as black boxes. We show that so-called almost quantum assemblages satisfy the principle of macroscopic noncontextuality, and demonstrate that a subset of almost quantum correlations recover almost quantum assemblages in this approach.

  We experimentally observe the violations of Leggett-Garg-Bell's inequalities on single and multi-qubit systems. 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.

  Bell's theorem proves that quantum theory is inconsistent with local physical models. In the last decade, the investigation of nonlocality has moved beyond Bell's theorem to consider more sophisticated experiments. This review discusses the main concepts, methods, results and future challenges in the emerging topic of Bell nonlocality in networks.

• Quantum Mechanical description of Bell's experiment assumes Locality [91.3755431537592]
  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.
