Müller and Lluís Masanes -- Quantum from principles / Giulio Chiribella, Giacomo Mauro D'Ariano and Paolo Perinotti -- Reconstructing quantum theory / Lucien Hardy -- The classical limit of a physical theory and the dimensionality of space / Borivoje Dakić, Časlav Brukner -- Some negative remarks on operational approaches to quantum theory / Christopher A. Fuchs and Blake C. Stacey -- Part III: Categories and convex sets -- Generalised compositional theories and diagrammatic reasoning / Bob Coecke, Ross Duncan, Aleks Kissinger and Quanlong Wang -- Post-classical probability t heory / Howard Barnum and Alexander Wilce -- Part IV: Quantum versus super-quantum correlations -- Information causality / Marcin Pawłowski and Valerio Scarani -- Macroscopic locality / Miguel Navascués -- Guess your neighbour's input: no quantum advantage but an advantage for quantum theory / Antonio Aćın, Mafalda L.

Summary: This book provides the first unified overview of the burgeoning research area at the interface between quantum foundations and quantum information. Topics include: operational alternatives to quantum theory, information-theoretic reconstructions of the quantum formalism, mathematical frameworks for operational theories, and device-independent features of the set of quantum correlations.
