On Causal Explanations of Quantum Correlations
The framework of causal models is ideally suited to formalizing certain conceptual problems in quantum theory, and conversely, a variety of tools developed by physicists studying the foundations of quantum theory have applications for causal inference. This talk reviews some of the connections between the two fields. In particular, it is shown that certain correlations predicted by quantum theo...
متن کاملEpistemology vs. Non-Causal Realism
This paper formulates a general epistemological argument against what I call non-causal realism, generalizing domain specific arguments by Benacerraf, Field, and others. First I lay out the background to the argument, making a number of distinctions that are often missed in discussions of epistemological arguments against realism. Then I define the target of the argument — non-causal realism — ...
متن کاملQuantum correlations with no causal order
The idea that events obey a definite causal order is deeply rooted in our understanding of the world and at the basis of the very notion of time. But where does causal order come from, and is it a necessary property of nature? Here, we address these questions from the standpoint of quantum mechanics in a new framework for multipartite correlations that does not assume a pre-defined global causa...
متن کاملInferring non-observed correlations from causal scenarios: The role of causal knowledge
This work aimed at demonstrating, first, that na€ıve reasoners are able to infer the existence of a relationship between two events that have never been presented together and, second, the sensitivity of such inference to the causal structure of the task. In all experiments, naive participants judged the strength of the causal link between a cue A and an outcome O in a first phase and between a...
متن کاملOn Symmetries in (Anti)Causal (Non)Abelian Quantum Theories
(Anti)causal boundary conditions being imposed on the (seemingly) Hermitian Quantum Theory (HQT) as described in standard textbooks lead to an (Anti)Causal Quantum Theory ((A)CQT) with an indefinite metric (see e.g. [1–6]). Therefore, an (anti)causal neutral scalar field is not Hermitian, as one (anti)causal neutral scalar field consists of a non-Hermitian linear combination of two (Hermitian) ...
