Picturing Indefinite Causal Structure (1701.00659v1)

Published 3 Jan 2017 in cs.OH

Abstract: Following on from the notion of (first-order) causality, which generalises the notion of being tracepreserving from CP-maps to abstract processes, we give a characterization for the most general kind of map which sends causal processes to causal processes. These new, second-order causal processes enable us to treat the input processes as 'local laboratories' whose causal ordering needs not be fixed in advance. Using this characterization, we give a fully-diagrammatic proof of a non-trivial theorem: namely that being causality-preserving on separable processes implies being 'completely' causality preserving. That is, causality is preserved even when the 'local laboratories' are allowed to have ancilla systems. An immediate consequence is that preserving causality is separable processes is equivalence to preserving causality for strongly non-signalling (a.k.a. localizable) processes.
