• Abstract: We present a parallel between commutative and non-commutative polymorphisms. Our emphasis is the applications to conditional distributions from stochastic processes. In the classical case, both the measures and the positive definite kernels are scalar valued. But the non-commutative framework (as motivated by quantum theory) dictates a setting where instead now both the measures (in the form of quantum states), and the positive definite kernels, are operator valued. The non-commutative theory entails a systematic study of positive operator valued measures, abbreviated POVMs. And quantum states (normal states) are indexed by normalized positive trace-class operators. In the non-commutative theory, the parallel to the commutative/scalar valued theory helps us understand entanglement in quantum information. A further implication of our study of the non-commutative framework will entail an interplay between the two cases, scalar valued, vs operator valued.

• 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.

• Intuitionistic Quantum Logic Perspective: Static and Dynamic Revision Operators [6.646627444027416]
  We focus on the exploration of a revision theory grounded in quantum mechanics, referred to as the natural revision theory. We combine the advantages of two intuitionistic quantum logic frameworks, as proposed by D"oring and Coecke. We introduce two types of revision operators that correspond to the two reasoning modes in quantum systems: static and dynamic revision.

• Quantitative non-classicality of mediated interactions [0.5033155053523042]
  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.

• 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.

  Three classes of circuits were considered: (i) universal, (ii) classically simulatable, and (iii) neither universal nor classically simulatable. We verified that all the families of circuits satisfy on average the principle of majorization. Clear differences appear in the fluctuations of the Lorenz curves associated to states.

• Euclidean formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics of N particles [0.0]
  Euclidean formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics for systems of a finite number of degrees of freedom is discussed. Theory can be formulated entirely in the Euclidean representation without the need for analytic continuation. Explicit formulas for generators of the Poincar'e group for any spin are constructed and shown to be self-adjoint on the Euclidean representation of the Hilbert space.

• Emergence of classical behavior in the early universe [68.8204255655161]
  Three notions are often assumed to be essentially equivalent, representing different facets of the same phenomenon. We analyze them in general Friedmann-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker space-times through the lens of geometric structures on the classical phase space. The analysis shows that: (i) inflation does not play an essential role; classical behavior can emerge much more generally; (ii) the three notions are conceptually distinct; classicality can emerge in one sense but not in another.
