Abstracts:
Closed Timelike Curves (CTCs) are intriguing relativistic
objects that allow for time travel to the past and can be used as
computational resources. In Deutschian Closed Timelike Curves (D-CTCs),
due to the monogamy of entanglement, non-local correlations between
entangled states are destroyed. In contrast, for Postselected Closed
Timelike Curves (P-CTCs), a second variant of CTCs, the non-local
correlations are preserved. P-CTCs can be harnessed for the signaling of
non-orthogonal states to the past without a disruption of causality. In
this paper, we take up signaling to the past and show a method of
sending four non-orthogonal states to the past using P-CTCs. After
constructing our signaling protocol, we study the causality violations
that our protocol results in and put forward two consistency relations
to prevent them.
