No-signaling, dynamical independence, and the local observability principle

Abstract

Within a general operational framework I show that a-causality at a distance of "local actions" (the so-called "no-signaling") is a direct consequence of commutativity of local transformations, i.e. of dynamical independence. On the other hand, the tensor product of Quantum Mechanics is not just a consequence of such dynamical independence, but needs in addition the Local Observability Principle.Comment: Presented at the conference "Theory and Technology in Quantum Information, Communication, Computation and Cryptography", Trieste SISSA, June 2006.
