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 …

Specker's parable of the overprotective seer: A road to contextuality, nonlocality and complementarity

YC Liang, RW Spekkens, HM Wiseman - Physics Reports, 2011 - Elsevier
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

A Cabello, S Severini, A Winter - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
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

DJ Saunders, SJ Jones, HM Wiseman, GJ Pryde - Nature Physics, 2010 - nature.com
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

T Giordani, R Wagner, C Esposito, A Camillini… - Science …, 2023 - science.org
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

G Kirchmair, F Zähringer, R Gerritsma, M Kleinmann… - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
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

R Lapkiewicz, P Li, C Schaeff, NK Langford… - Nature, 2011 - nature.com
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

L Catani, M Leifer, G Scala, D Schmid, RW Spekkens - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
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

L Catani, M Leifer, D Schmid, RW Spekkens - Quantum, 2023 - quantum-journal.org
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

JH Selby, E Wolfe, D Schmid, AB Sainz, VP Rossi - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
A well-motivated method for demonstrating that an experiment resists any classical
explanation is to show that its statistics violate generalized noncontextuality. We here …
