Reply to comment on "Information Flow of quantum states interacting with closed timelike curves"

Abstract

We respond to the comment by Klobus, et al by emphasizing that the equivalent circuit, once constructed, obeys the standard rules of quantum mechanics - hence there is no ambiguity in how to choose initial states in our model. We discuss the distinction between correlated ensembles produced non-locally via measurements on entangled states and those produced via local preparation.
