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 …

A universal qudit quantum processor with trapped ions
Most quantum computers use binary encoding to store information in qubits—the quantum
analogue of classical bits. Yet, the underlying physical hardware consists of information …

Native qudit entanglement in a trapped ion quantum processor
Quantum information carriers, just like most physical systems, naturally occupy high-
dimensional Hilbert spaces. Instead of restricting them to a two-level subspace, these high …

Practical trapped-ion protocols for universal qudit-based quantum computing
The notion of universal quantum computation can be generalized to multilevel qudits, which
offer advantages in resource usage and algorithmic efficiencies. Trapped ions, which are …

Converting contextuality into nonlocality
A Cabello - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We introduce a general method which converts, in a unified way, any form of quantum
contextuality, including any form of state-dependent contextuality, into a quantum violation of …

Significant loophole-free test of Kochen-Specker contextuality using two species of atomic ions
Quantum measurements cannot be thought of as revealing preexisting results, even when
they do not disturb any other measurement in the same trial. This feature is called …

Control and readout of a 13-level trapped ion qudit
To implement useful quantum algorithms which demonstrate quantum advantage, we must
scale currently demonstrated quantum computers up significantly. Leading platforms such …

Certifying sets of quantum observables with any full-rank state
We show that some sets of quantum observables are unique up to an isometry and have a
contextuality witness that attains the same value for any initial state. We prove that these two …
