Causality is central to understanding the mechanisms of nature:
some event "A" is the cause of another event "B". Surprisingly,
causality does not follow this simple rule in quantum physics: due
to to quantum superposition we might be led to believe that "A
causes B" and that "B causes A". This idea is not only important to
the foundations of physics but also leads to practical advantages:
a quantum circuit with such indefinite causality performs
computationally better than one with definite causality. This
thesis provides one of the first comprehensive introductions to
quantum causality, and presents a number of advances. It provides
an extension and generalization of a framework that enables us to
study causality within quantum mechanics, thereby setting the stage
for the rest of the work. This comprises: mathematical tools to
define causality in terms of probabilities; computational tools to
prove indefinite causality in an experiment; means to
experimentally test particular causal structures; and finally an
algorithm that detects the exact causal structure in an quantum
experiment.
