Hardy and Cabello Arguments in Spatial and Temporal Frauchiger-Renner Scenarios

We investigate Hardy- and Cabello-type logical structures within spatial and temporal extensions of the Frauchiger--Renner (FR) framework, embedding these constructions directly into the FR multi-observer architecture. In the spatial multi-observer scenario, both Hardy and Cabello contradictions arise, with the Cabello construction yielding the stronger violation,$\(\Delta_{\rm Cabello}^{\max}=0.1078\)$, which exceeds the maximal Hardy probability $\(P_{H}^{\max}=\frac{5\sqrt{5}-11}{2}\approx 0.09017\)$. We then develop a sequential temporal FR protocol based on coherent multi-observer measurements performed on a single spin-$\tfrac12$ system. In this temporal setting, the Hardy contradiction disappears identically due to dynamical constraints imposed by sequential state updates, whereas a finite Cabello-type violation survives, \(\Delta_{\rm Cabello}^{\max}\approx 0.0674\). Our results establish a fundamental structural distinction between spatial entanglement and temporal multi-observer correlations in FR-type logical scenarios, and demonstrate that certain observer-independent description failures persist even without spacelike separation.

Quantum theory can consistently describe the use of itself in Frauchiger-Renner's Gedankenexperiment

Theoretical physics has faced many challenges since the advent of quantum mechanics. Recently, Frauchiger and Renner have presented a no-go theorem, which makes quantum mechanics more controversial. However, from our perspective, the process of proving appears questionable. Therefore, we discuss the validity of their proof approach in this letter. Here, we propose a simple thought experiment that clarifies how correctly the attributed quantum state can be written in problems similar to Frauchiger and Renner's Gedankenexperiment. In the next step, with the help of the correct form of the quantum state, it is demonstrated that a fallacy occurred in the proof of the no-go theorem, which means it cannot be valid because of the wrong proof. Ultimately, getting help from Hardy's paradox, we investigate whether there is an approach to modify their proof in order to lend the no-go theorem validity.

Three-Spin Systems and the Pusey-Barrett- Rudolph Theorem

The fundamental nature of quantum wave function has been the topic of many discussions since the beginning of the quantum theory. It either corresponds to an element of reality $(Ψ-ontic)$ or it is a subjective state of knowledge about the underlying reality $(Ψ-epistemic)$. Pusey, Barrett, and Rudolph (PBR) have shown that epistemic interpretations of the quantum wave function are in contradiction with the predictions of quantum under some assumptions. In this paper, a laboratory protocol with a triple quantum dot will be introduced as a three-spin interaction system to study the PBR no-go theorem. By this experimental model, we show that the epistemic interpretation of the quantum state is in contradiction with quantum theory, based only on the assumption that measurement settings can be prepared freely and independently from each other.

A Quantum Cognition Analysis of Human Behaviour by Hardy's Non-locality Argument

Quantum cognition is an emerging field making uses of quantum theory to model cognitive phenomena which cannot be explained by classical theories. Usually, in cognitive tests, subjects are asked to give a response to a question, but in this paper, we just observed the subjects' behaviour and the question and answer method was not applied in order to prevent any mental background on participants' minds. Finally, we examined the experimental data on Hardy's non-locality argument (HNA), and we noticed the violation of HNA in human behaviour.

The Cabello Nonlocal Argument is Stronger Control than the Hardy Nonlocal Argument for Detecting Post-Quantum Correlations

In this paper, we study the Hardy nonlocal argument (HNA) and the Cabello nonlocal argument (CNA) under the Information Causality, Macroscopic Locality and Local Orthogonality principles in the context of Local Randomness. We see that, in the context of all the possibilities of local randomness, the gap between the quantum mechanics and the above principles, in the Cabello's nonlocality argument is larger than the Hardy's case. Therefore the CNA is stronger control than the HNA for detecting post-quantum nosignalling correlations.

Local randomness in Cabello's non-locality argument from the Information Causality principle

The principle of non-violation of "information causality", has been proposed as one of the foundational properties of nature\cite{nature}. The main goal of the paper is to explore the gap between quantum mechanical correlations and those allowed by "information causality" in the context of local randomness by using Cabello's nonlocality argument. This is interesting because the gap is slightly different than in the context of Hardy's similar nonlocality argument\cite{gazi}

Downward relativistic potential step and phenomenological account of Bohmian trajectories of the Klein paradox

The Dirac equation has been applied to fermions scattering from the downward potential step. The results show some particles do not fall off the edge of the step and reflect. Also, based on de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics (Bohmian mechanics) and Bohmian trajectories we have resolved the problem. Lastly, a phenomenological study of the Bohmian trajectory of the Klein paradox has been discussed.

Quantum Potential Via General Hamilton - Jacobi Equation

In this paper, we sketch and emphasize the automatic emergence of a quantum potential (QP) in general Hamilton-Jacobi equation via commuting relations, quantum canonical transformations and without the straight effect of wave function. The interpretation of QP in terms of independent entity is discussed along with the introduction of quantum kinetic energy. The method has been extended to relativistic regime, and same results have been concluded.

Measurement-induced nonlocality for an arbitrary bipartite state

Measurement-induced nonlocality is a measure of nonlocalty introduced by Luo and Fu [Phys. Rev. Lett \textbf{106}, 120401 (2011)]. In this paper, we study the problem of evaluation of Measurement-induced nonlocality (MIN) for an arbitrary $m\times n$ dimensional bipartite density matrix $ρ$ for the case where one of its reduced density matrix, $ρ^{a}$, is degenerate (the nondegenerate case was explained in the preceding reference). Suppose that, in general, $ρ^{a}$ has $d$ degenerate subspaces with dimension $m_{i} (m_{i} \leq m, i=1, 2, ..., d)$. We show that according to the degeneracy of $ρ^{a}$, if we expand $ρ$ in a suitable basis, the evaluation of MIN for an $m\times n$ dimensional state $ρ$, is degraded to finding the MIN in the $m_{i}\times n$ dimensional subspaces of state $ρ$. This method can reduce the calculations in the evaluation of MIN. Moreover, for an arbitrary $m\times n$ state $ρ$ for which $m_{i}\leq 2$, our method leads to the exact value of the MIN. Also, we obtain an upper bound for MIN which can improve the ones introduced in the above mentioned reference. In the final, we explain the evaluation of MIN for $3\times n$ dimensional states in details.

Simulation of a Partially Entangled Two Qubit State Correlation with one PR-Box and one M-box

We present a protocol to simulate the quantum correlation implied by non maximally entangled two qubit states, in the worst case scenario. This protocol makes a single use of PR-box and a single use of Millionaire box (M-box). To the best of our knowledge, the resources used in this protocol are weaker than those used in previous protocols and are minimal in the worst case scenario.

Hardy's argument and successive spin-s measurements

We consider a hidden-variable theoretic description of successive measurements of non commuting spin observables on a input spin-s state. In this scenario, the hidden-variable theory leads to a Hardy-type argument that quantum predictions violate it. We show that the maximum probability of success of Hardy's argument in quantum theory is $(\frac{1}{2})^{4s}$, which is more than in the spatial case.

Factorization Law for Two Lower Bounds of Concurrence

We study the dynamics of two lower bounds of concurrence in bipartite quantum systems when one party goes through an arbitrary channel. We show that these lower bounds obey the factorization law similar to that of [Konrad et al., Nat. Phys. 4, 99 (2008)]. We also, discuss the application of this property, in an example.

Bound on Hardy's non-locality from the principle of Information Causality

Recently,the principle of nonviolation of information causality [Nature 461,1101 (2009)], has been proposed as one of the foundational properties of nature. We explore the Hardy's nonlocality theorem for two qubit systems, in the context of generalised probability theory, restricted by the principle of nonviolation of information causality. Applying, a sufficient condition for information causality violation, we derive an upper bound on the maximum success probability of Hardy's nonlocality argument. We find that the bound achieved here is higher than that allowed by quantum mechanics,but still much less than what the nosignaling condition permits. We also study the Cabello type nonlocality argument (a generalization of Hardy's argument) in this context.

Simulation of partial entanglement with one cbit and one M-box

We present a protocol to simulate the correlations implied by nonmaximally entangled two qubit states. We extend this protocol to simulate the non-local part of these correlations. These protocols use single cbit communication and a single use of Millionaire box (M-box). To the best of our knowledge, these resources are weaker than those used in previous protocols using classical communication.

Simulation of two spin-$s$ singlet correlations for all $s$ involving spin measurements

In a recent paper [A. Ahanj et al., quant-ph/0603053], we gave a classical protocol to simulate quantum correlations corresponding to the spin $s$ singlet state for the infinite sequence of spins satisfying $2s+1 = 2^{n}$. In the present paper, we have generalized this result by giving a classical protocol to exactly simulate quantum correlations implied by the spin-$s$ singlet state corresponding to all integer as well as half-integer spin values $s$. The class of measurements we consider here are only those corresponding to spin observables, as has been done in the above-mentioned paper. The required amount of communication is found to be $\lceil {\rm log}_{2} (s + 1) \rceil$ in the worst case scenario, where $\lceil x \rceil$ is the least integer greater than or equal to $x$.

Classical simulation of two spin-$S$ singlet state correlations involving spin measurements

We give a classical protocol to exactly simulate quantum correlations implied by a spin-$s$ singlet state for the infinite sequence of spins satisfying $(2s + 1) = 2^{n}$, in the worst-case scenario, where $n$ is a positive integer. The class of measurements we consider here are only those corresponding to spin observables. The required amount of communication is found to be $log_{2}d$ where $d = 2s + 1$ is the dimension of the spin-$s$ Hilbert space.
