Bell scenarios with communication

In summary, the conversation and research discussed in this article focuses on the concept of quantum nonlocality, which refers to the different predictions made by classical and quantum physics in experiments with separate observers who do not communicate. The article explores how allowing different forms of communication between parties can affect the nature of quantum correlations and potentially lead to new applications with increased security. The researchers also examine the amount of communication needed to reproduce quantum or no-signalling correlations using classical models, as well as how classical communication can be incorporated into quantum models to achieve no-signalling correlations.

Abstract
Classical and quantum physics provide fundamentally different predictions about experiments with separate observers that do not communicate, a phenomenon known as quantum nonlocality. This insight is a key element of our present understanding of quantum physics, and also enables a number of information processing protocols with security beyond what is classically attainable. Relaxing the pivotal assumption of no communication leads to new insights into the nature quantum correlations, and may enable new applications where security can be established under less strict assumptions. Here, we study such relaxations where different forms of communication are allowed. We consider communication of inputs, outputs, and of a message between the parties. Using several measures, we study how much communication is required for classical models to reproduce quantum or general no-signalling correlations, as well as how quantum models can be augmented with classical communication to reproduce no-signalling correlations.
