Bounds on Nonlocality and Random Access Codes from Extended Information Causality Principle

Information Causality was introduced as a physical principle for constraining the set of nonlocal correlations. In recent work, we proposed an extension of Information Causality that allows correlations among Alice's inputs. This extended principle yields tighter constraints than the original formulation and recovers part of the quantum boundary in certain Bell scenarios. In this work, we further investigate the implications of extended Information Causality and apply it to scenarios beyond binary inputs and outputs. We derive a family of quantum Bell inequalities that strengthen previously known constraints on quantum correlations. Using these inequalities, we obtain an improved analytical bound for the Collins-Gisin family of Bell inequalities. We also apply Information Causality to entanglement-assisted random access codes and derive new theory-independent analytical bounds on the winning probability. For this latter task, we prove that, despite being stronger in general, the extended principle does not improve the bounds obtained from the original Information Causality principle. This suggests that the existing Information Causality bounds are optimal for this class of random access codes.
