New forms of quantum value indefiniteness suggest that incompatible views on contexts are epistemic

Quantum Physics 2018-07-31 v4

Abstract

Extensions of the Kochen-Specker theorem use quantum logics whose classical interpretation suggests a true-implies-value indefiniteness property. This can be interpreted as an indication that any view of a quantum state beyond a single context is epistemic.
