Quantum correlations, foundations & formalism is a research area in quantum information theory and quantum foundations that studies nonclassical statistical correlations between quantum systems and the mathematical structures underpinning them. It encompasses entanglement, Bell nonlocality, steering, and contextuality, and analyzes their characterization via correlation sets, operator algebras, tensor product structures, resource theories, and generalized probabilistic frameworks. The field investigates axiomatic reconstructions of quantum theory, relationships between different nonclassical correlations, and constraints imposed by causality, information principles, and symmetry. It also explores operational and device-independent formulations, linking foundational questions to cryptography, communication complexity, and many-body physics.
From mobile phones and banking systems to aircraft, ships and emergency services, much of modern life relies on precise timing signals from satellites. Known as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), satellites carrying ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated the Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM) effect with up to 12 indistinguishable neutral atoms—an effect that has been predominantly observed in photonic systems.
In quantum mechanics, the geometry of quantum states has emerged as a powerful framework for understanding phenomena ranging from electrical conductivity to superconductivity. One research direction aims to extend these geometric ...
