Foundations and applications of quantum causality

这个项目旨在研究量子世界中因果关系的本质。随着特殊用途的量子设备即将出现，对新的量子协议的需求具有迫切的技术和经济意义。使用跨学科的方法，这个项目将探索这样一个假设，即量子优势与经典量子现象模拟中微调的基本需求有关。预期的结果包括提供指导量子技术的物理图景的微调资源理论，对非经典的新的基本测试，以及在我们理解量子现实和因果关系的本质方面的重大理论和哲学进步。

This project aims to investigate the nature of causality in the quantum world. With special-purpose quantum devices on the horizon, the need for novel quantum protocols is of urgent technological and economic significance. Using interdisciplinary methodologies, this project will explore the hypothesis that quantum advantage is associated to a fundamental need for fine-tuning in classical simulations of quintessentially quantum phenomena. Expected outcomes include a resource theory of fine-tuning providing a physical picture to guide quantum technologies, new fundamental tests of nonclassicality, and significant theoretical and philosophical advances in our understanding of the nature of quantum reality and causality.
