Comment on a suggested Kochen-Specker test

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

A suggestion for an observational test of the difference between quantum mechanics and noncontextual hidden variables theories requires the measurement of a product of two commuting observables without measuring either observable separately. A proposal has been made for doing this, but it is shown to be problematic.
