Kochen-Specker theorem for a single qubit using positive operator-valued measures

Quantum Physics 2009-07-28 v2

Abstract

A proof of the Kochen-Specker theorem for a single two-level system is presented. It employs five eight-element positive operator-valued measures and a simple algebraic reasoning based on the geometry of the dodecahedron.
