Identifying the causal structures between two statistically correlated events has been widely investigated in many fields of science. While some of the well-studied classical methods are carefully generalized to quantum version of causal inference for certain cases, an effective and efficient way to detect the more general quantum causal structures is still lacking. Here, we introduce a quantity named `Causal Determinant' to efficiently identify the quantum causal structures between two quantum systems and experimentally verify the validity of the method. According to the causal determinant, the quantum direct cause imposed by an arbitrary unitary operator can be perfectly discriminated with the quantum common cause, in which the two quantum systems share a joint quantum state. In addition, the causal determinant has the capability to discriminate between more general causal structures and predict the range of their parameters. The ability to detect more general quantum causal structures of our method can shed new light on the field of quantum causal inference. |
