Kochen-specker contextuality
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 …

Specker's parable of the overprotective seer: A road to contextuality, nonlocality and complementarity
In 1960, the mathematician Ernst Specker described a simple example of nonclassical
correlations, the counter-intuitive features of which he dramatized using a parable about a …

Graph-theoretic approach to quantum correlations
Correlations in Bell and noncontextuality inequalities can be expressed as a positive linear
combination of probabilities of events. Exclusive events can be represented as adjacent …

Experimental EPR-steering using Bell-local states
The concept of 'steering'was introduced in 1935 by Schrödinger as a generalization of the
EPR (Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen) paradox. It has recently been formalized as a quantum …

Experimental certification of contextuality, coherence, and dimension in a programmable universal photonic processor
Quantum superposition of high-dimensional states enables both computational speed-up
and security in cryptographic protocols. However, the exponential complexity of tomographic …

State-independent experimental test of quantum contextuality
The question of whether quantum phenomena can be explained by classical models with
hidden variables is the subject of a long-lasting debate,. In 1964, Bell showed that certain …

Experimental non-classicality of an indivisible quantum system
In contrast to classical physics, quantum theory demands that not all properties can be
simultaneously well defined; the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is a manifestation of this …

Aspects of the phenomenology of interference that are genuinely nonclassical
Interference phenomena are often claimed to resist classical explanation. However, such
claims are undermined by the fact that the specific aspects of the phenomenology upon …

[HTML][HTML] Why interference phenomena do not capture the essence of quantum theory
Quantum interference phenomena are widely viewed as posing a challenge to the classical
worldview. Feynman even went so far as to proclaim that they are the $\textit {only mystery} …

Linear program for testing nonclassicality and an open-source implementation
A well-motivated method for demonstrating that an experiment resists any classical
explanation is to show that its statistics violate generalized noncontextuality. We here …
