Higher-Order Quantum Operations
read the original abstract
An operational description of quantum phenomena concerns developing models that describe experimentally observed behaviour. $\textit{Higher-order quantum operations}\unicode{x2014}$quantum operations that transform quantum operations$\unicode{x2014}$are fundamental to modern quantum theory, extending beyond basic state preparations, evolutions, and measurements described by the Born rule. These operations naturally emerge in quantum circuit architectures, correlated open dynamics, and investigations of quantum causality, to name but a few fields of application. This Review Article provides both a pedagogical introduction to the framework of higher-order quantum operations and a comprehensive survey of current literature, illustrated through physical examples. We conclude by identifying open problems and future research directions in this rapidly evolving field.

The minimal example of quantum network Bell nonlocality
Quantum nonlocality is possible in the triangle network with no inputs and binary outputs, which is the smallest such scenario by number of variables and outcomes.

Supermaps on generalised theories
A Yoneda lemma for categorical supermaps gives a concrete representation via channel-state duality whenever the theory has it, yielding stable definitions for boxworld and real quantum theory.

Causality from the spectrum: Emergence of causal order from process-matrix mereology
A process matrix can be unitarily transformed to a fixed-causal-order process exactly when its eigenvalue multiplicities are divisible by the final output dimension; generic high-dimensional spectra are close to such spectra.

Probabilistic Storage and Retrieval of Quantum Superchannels for "Retrospective'' Intervention
Develops two protocols for probabilistic storage-and-retrieval of unitary superchannels, with staircase backstitch reaching unit success probability asymptotically as query number grows, plus a universal inversion protocol.

Entanglement in quantum channel discrimination: sometimes less is more
The paper shows that for some pairs of unitary channels, perfect discrimination is possible with separable states but nearly impossible with maximally entangled states, introducing MEWC and MEBC concepts.
