• 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.

  Noninterference theory supports the analysis of secure computations in multi-level security systems. In a nondeterministic setting, assessing noninterference through weak bisimilarity is adequate for irreversible systems, whereas for reversible ones branching bisimilarity has been proven to be more appropriate. We recast noninterference properties by adopting probabilistic variants of weak and branching bisimilarities for irreversible and reversible systems respectively.

  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.

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.

  We investigate network nonlocality in the triangle scenario when all three parties have no input and binary outputs. We prove that this minimal scenario supports nonlocal correlations compatible with no-signaling and independence of the three sources, but not with realisations based on independent quantum or classical sources.

  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.

  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.
