Testing locality or noncontextuality with lowest moments
The quest for fundamental test of quantum mechanics is an ongoing effort. We are addressing the question of what are the lowest possible moments to prove quantum nonlocality and noncontextuality without any further assumption – in particular without the often assumed dichotomy. We first show that second order correlations can always be explained by a classical noncontextual local hidden variabl...
متن کاملA minimal state-dependent proof of measurement contextuality for a qubit
The doubts of EPR [1] and the theorems of Bell, Kochen and Specker [2, 3, 4] established the impossibility of some very natural hidden variable models of quantum theory, characterized by locality and noncontextuality. Spekkens recently generalized this class of models to generalizednoncontextual ontological models, defining them in a manner that is applicable to any operational theory rather th...
متن کاملOn monogamy of non-locality and macroscopic averages: examples and preliminary results
We explore a connection between monogamy of non-locality and a weak macroscopic locality condition: the locality of the average behaviour. These are revealed by our analysis as being two sides of the same coin. Moreover, we exhibit a structural reason for both in the case of Bell-type multipartite scenarios, shedding light on but also generalising the results in the literature [16, 14]. More sp...
متن کاملTesting Bell’s inequality using Aharonov-Casher effect
We propose the Aharonov-Casher (AC) effect for four entangled spin-half particles carrying magnetic moments in the presence of impenetrable line charge. The four particle state undergoes AC phase shift in two causually disconnected region which can show up in the correlations between different spin states of distant particles. This correlation can violate Bell’s inequality, thus displaying the ...
متن کاملOptimal inequalities for state-independent contextuality.
Contextuality is a natural generalization of nonlocality which does not need composite systems or spacelike separation and offers a wider spectrum of interesting phenomena. Most notably, in quantum mechanics there exist scenarios where the contextual behavior is independent of the quantum state. We show that the quest for an optimal inequality separating quantum from classical noncontextual cor...
