Kochen-specker contextuality

C Budroni, A Cabello, O Gühne, M Kleinmann… - Reviews of Modern …, 2022 - APS
A central result in the foundations of quantum mechanics is the Kochen-Specker theorem. In
short, it states that quantum mechanics is in conflict with classical models in which the result …

Quantum state discrimination and its applications

J Bae, LC Kwek - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Quantum state discrimination underlies various applications in quantum information
processing tasks. It essentially describes the distinguishability of quantum systems in …

Is the quantum state real? An extended review of -ontology theorems

MS Leifer - arxiv preprint arxiv:1409.1570, 2014 - arxiv.org
Towards the end of 2011, Pusey, Barrett and Rudolph derived a theorem that aimed to show
that the quantum state must be ontic (a state of reality) in a broad class of realist approaches …

Classification and reconstruction of optical quantum states with deep neural networks

S Ahmed, C Sánchez Muñoz, F Nori, AF Kockum - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
We apply deep-neural-network-based techniques to quantum state classification and
reconstruction. Our methods demonstrate high classification accuracies and reconstruction …

[BOOK][B] The meaning of the wave function: In search of the ontology of quantum mechanics

S Gao - 2017 - books.google.com
At the heart of quantum mechanics lies the wave function, a powerful but mysterious
mathematical object which has been a hot topic of debate from its earliest stages. Covering …

Contextual advantage for state discrimination

D Schmid, RW Spekkens - Physical Review X, 2018 - APS
Finding quantitative aspects of quantum phenomena which cannot be explained by any
classical model has foundational importance for understanding the boundary between …

Is a time symmetric interpretation of quantum theory possible without retrocausality?

MS Leifer, MF Pusey - Proceedings of the Royal Society …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Huw Price has proposed an argument that suggests a time symmetric ontology for quantum
theory must necessarily be retrocausal, ie it must involve influences that travel backwards in …

Coherence and contextuality in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer

R Wagner, A Camillini, EF Galvão - Quantum, 2024 - quantum-journal.org
We analyse nonclassical resources in interference phenomena using generalized
noncontextuality inequalities and basis-independent coherence witnesses. We use recently …

Contextual advantages and certification for maximum-confidence discrimination

K Flatt, H Lee, CRI Carceller, JB Brask, J Bae - PRX Quantum, 2022 - APS
One of the most fundamental results in quantum information theory is that no measurement
can perfectly discriminate between nonorthogonal quantum states. In this work, we …

Hidden variable model for universal quantum computation with magic states on qubits

M Zurel, C Okay, R Raussendorf - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
We show that every quantum computation can be described by a probabilistic update of a
probability distribution on a finite phase space. Negativity in a quasiprobability function is not …
