Local fraction in Static Causal Orders

Abstract

In this Letter, we introduce a notion of local fraction for experiments taking place against arbitrary static causal backgrounds -- greatly generalising previous results on no-signalling scenarios -- and we explicitly formulate a linear program to compute this quantity. We derive a free characterisation of causal functions which allows us to efficiently construct the matrices required to perform concrete calculations. We demonstrate our techniques by analysing the local fraction of a novel example involving two Bell tests in interleaved causal order.
