Abstract: Bell scenarios are multipartite scenarios that exclude any communication between parties. This constraint leads to a strict hierarchy of correlation sets in such scenarios, namely, classical, quantum, and nonsignaling. However, without any constraints on communication between the parties, they can realize arbitrary correlations by exchanging only classical systems. Here we consider a multipartite scenario where the parties can engage in at most a single round of communication, i.e., each party is allowed to receive a system once, implement any local intervention on it, and send out the resulting system once. While no global assumption about causal relations between parties is assumed in this scenario, we do make a causal assumption local to each party, i.e., the input received by it causally precedes the output it sends out. We then introduce antinomicity, a notion of nonclassicality for correlations in such scenarios, and prove the existence of a strict hierarchy of correlation sets classified by their antinomicity. Antinomicity serves as a generalization of Bell nonlocality: when all the parties discard their output systems (i.e., in a nonsignaling scenario), it is mathematically equivalent to Bell nonlocality. Like Bell nonlocality, it can be understood as an instance of fine-tuning, one that is necessary in any classical model of cyclic causation that avoids time-travel antinomies but allows antinomic correlations. Furthermore, antinomicity resolves a long-standing puzzle, i.e., the failure of causal inequality violations as device-independent witnesses of nonclassicality. Antinomicity implies causal inequality violations, but not conversely.

Time series and the meaning of quantum non-locality [55.2480439325792]
The derivation of Bell's inequalities gives precise meaning to the idea of quantum non-locality. It also makes evident why using it for faster than light signaling is impossible. It is demonstrated that series of outcomes, even if they violate Bell's inequalities, can be always embedded in a set of factual and counter-factual data.

We show that there cannot be arbitrary amounts of both of these two resources together. We discuss how it can be understood in terms of a global' notion of contextuality.

Some consequences of Sica's approach to Bell's inequalities [55.2480439325792]
Louis Sica derived Bell's inequalities from the hypothesis that the time series of outcomes observed in one station does not change if the setting in the other station is changed. In this paper, Sica's approach is extended to series with non ideal efficiency and to the actual time structure of experimental data.

Lower-bounding entanglement with nonlocality in a general Bell's scenario [2.6098692031389583]
entanglement measures, while defined dramatically different in mathematics, are basically the distances between the state of interest and its closest separable state. We relate this minimal distance between states with distance-based Bell nonlocality, namely, the minimal distance between correlation of interest with respect to the set of classical correlations. This establishes the quantitative relation between entanglement and Bell nonlocality, leading to the bounds for entanglement in various contexts.

A causal modelling analysis of Bell scenarios in space-time: implications of jamming non-local correlations for relativistic causality principles [1.0878040851638]
Bell scenarios involve space-like separated measurements made by multiple parties. Non-signalling constraints have been proposed, which permit a class of post-quantum theories known as jamming non-local theories. We show that any theory that generates jamming correlations in a Bell scenario must necessarily do so through causal fine-tuning and by means of superluminal causal influences.

Nonclassicality in correlations without causal order [0.0]
Antinomicity is a notion of nonclassicality for correlations in the presence of indefinite causality. This article provides a causal perspective on antinomicity, complementing the device-independent perspective adopted in arXiv:2411.11397.

Invariant Causal Set Covering Machines [64.86459157191346]
Rule-based models, such as decision trees, appeal to practitioners due to their interpretable nature. However, the learning algorithms that produce such models are often vulnerable to spurious associations and thus, they are not guaranteed to extract causally-relevant insights. We propose Invariant Causal Set Covering Machines, an extension of the classical Set Covering Machine algorithm for conjunctions/disjunctions of binary-valued rules that provably avoids spurious associations.

Experimental full network nonlocality with independent sources and strict locality constraints [59.541438315564854]
Nonlocality in networks gives rise to phenomena radically different from that in standard Bell scenarios. We experimentally observe full network nonlocality in a network where the source-independence, locality, and measurement-independence loopholes are closed. Our experiment violates known inequalities characterizing non-full network nonlocal correlations by over five standard deviations.

Causality Inspired Representation Learning for Domain Generalization [47.574964496891404]
We introduce a general structural causal model to formalize the Domain generalization problem. Our goal is to extract the causal factors from inputs and then reconstruct the invariant causal mechanisms. We highlight that ideal causal factors should meet three basic properties: separated from the non-causal ones, jointly independent, and causally sufficient for the classification.

Multistage games and Bell scenarios with communication [0.9176056742068814]
Bell nonlocality is a cornerstone of quantum theory with applications in information processing ranging from cryptography to distributed computing and game theory. It is known that Bell's theorem can be formally linked to Bayesian games, allowing the use of nonlocal correlations to advise players and achieve new points of equilibrium that are unavailable classically. Here we generalize this link, proving the connection between multistage games of incomplete information with Bell scenarios involving the communication of measurement outcomes between the parties.
