This is a central problem in both theoretical and applied sciences, which has recently witnessed significant advances from the area of quantum nonlocality, namely, in the development of inflation techniques. Inflation is an extensible toolkit that is capable of solving pure causal compatibility problems and optimization over (relaxations of) sets of compatible correlations in both the classical and quantum paradigms. The library is designed to be modular and with the ability of being ready-to-use, while keeping an easy access to low-level objects for custom modifications.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.04483v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.04483v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"inflation-a-python-library-for-classical-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/ecboghiu/inflation","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
