• Abstract: The no-signalling principle is a fundamental assumption in Bell-inequality and quantum-steering experiments. Nonetheless, experimental imperfections can lead to apparent violations beyond those expected from finite-sample statistics. Here, we propose extensions of local hidden variable and local hidden state theories that allow for bounded, operationally quantifiable, amounts of signalling. We show how non-classicality tests can be developed for these models, both through exact methods based on the full set of observed statistics and through corrections to the standard Bell and steering inequalities. We demonstrate the applicability of these methods via two scenarios that feature apparent signalling: an IBM quantum processor and post-selected data from inefficient detectors.

  Quantum machine learning uses principles from quantum mechanics to process data, offering potential advances in speed and performance. Previous work has shown that these models are susceptible to attacks that manipulate input data or exploit noise in quantum circuits. We extend this line of research by investigating the robustness against perturbations in the classical data for a general class of data encoding schemes.

  We tackle the Few-Shot Open-Set Recognition (FSOSR) problem, i.e. classifying instances among a set of classes for which we only have a few labeled samples. We explore the popular transductive setting, which leverages the unlabelled query instances at inference. Motivated by the observation that existing transductive methods perform poorly in open-set scenarios, we propose a generalization of the maximum likelihood principle.

• Ab-initio experimental violation of Bell inequalities [0.9786690381850356]
  violation of a Bell inequality is the paradigmatic example of device-independent quantum information. In practice, all Bell experiments rely on the precise understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms. We propose and experimentally implement a solution to this ab-initio task. Treating preparation and measurement devices as black-boxes, and relying on the observed statistics only, our adaptive protocol approaches the optimal Bell inequality violation.

• Bell non-locality using tensor networks and sparse recovery [0.0]
  Bell's theorem, stating that quantum predictions are incompatible with a local hidden variable description, is a cornerstone of quantum theory. We propose to analyse a Bell scenario as a tensor network, a perspective permitting to test and quantify non-locality. It allows to prove that non-signalling correlations can be described by hidden variable models governed by a quasi-probability.
