Classifying Causal Structures: Ascertaining when Classical Correlations are Constrained by Inequalities

no code implementations4 Aug 2023 Shashaank Khanna, Marina Maciel Ansanelli, Matthew F. Pusey, Elie Wolfe

Considering all scenarios with up to 4 observed variables, which number in the thousands, we are able to resolve all but three causal scenarios, providing evidence that the HLP condition is, in fact, exhaustive.

Restricted Hidden Cardinality Constraints in Causal Models

no code implementations13 Sep 2021 Beata Zjawin, Elie Wolfe, Robert W. Spekkens

Causal models with unobserved variables impose nontrivial constraints on the distributions over the observed variables.

Entropic Inequality Constraints from $e$-separation Relations in Directed Acyclic Graphs with Hidden Variables

no code implementations15 Jul 2021 Noam Finkelstein, Beata Zjawin, Elie Wolfe, Ilya Shpitser, Robert W. Spekkens

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) with hidden variables are often used to characterize causal relations between variables in a system.

Quantum Inflation: A General Approach to Quantum Causal Compatibility

no code implementations23 Sep 2019 Elie Wolfe, Alejandro Pozas-Kerstjens, Matan Grinberg, Denis Rosset, Antonio Acín, Miguel Navascues

Causality is a seminal concept in science: Any research discipline, from sociology and medicine to physics and chemistry, aims at understanding the causes that could explain the correlations observed among some measured variables.

The Inflation Technique Completely Solves the Causal Compatibility Problem

no code implementations20 Jul 2017 Miguel Navascues, Elie Wolfe

We prove that inflation is asymptotically tight, i. e., that the hierarchy converges to a zero-error test for causal compatibility.

The Inflation Technique for Causal Inference with Latent Variables

no code implementations2 Sep 2016 Elie Wolfe, Robert W. Spekkens, Tobias Fritz

We describe an algorithm for deriving all such inequalities for the original causal structure that follow from ancestral independences in the inflation.
