Kochen-Specker Obstruction for Position and Momentum Using a Single Degree of Freedom

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

It is shown that, given a reasonable continuity assumption regarding possessed values, it is possible to construct a Kochen-Specker obstruction for any coordinate and its conjugate momentum, demonstrating that at most one of these two quantities can have a noncontextual value.
