    would be remarkable, because they would shed light on the nature of causality in the quantum world. In a recent paper, published in the journal Physical Review X , a group of physicists led by Professor Časlav Brukner at the University of Vienna and the Vienna Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences showed that, if the dynamics of causal structures is continuous and reversible, a definite causal structure can never become ...
