We study behaviour of the critical $O(N)$ vector model with quartic interaction in $2 \leq d \leq 6$ dimensions to the next-to-leading order in the large-$N$ expansion. We derive and perform consistency checks that provide an evidence for…

Two observables are called complementary if preparing a physical object in an eigenstate of one of them yields a completely random result in a measurement of the other. We investigate small sets of complementary observables that cannot be…

A uniform tight frame of N vectors for a d dimensional space is correlation minimizing if among all such frames it is as "nearly" orthogonal as possible, i.e., it minimizes the maximal inner product of unequal vectors. In this paper we…

We present an experimental scheme for the implementation of arbitrary generalized measurements, represented by positive-operator valued measures, on the polarization of single photons, using linear optical devices. Further, we…

Quantum systems show contextuality. More precisely, it is impossible to reproduce the quantum-mechanical predictions using a non-contextual realist model, i.e., a model where the outcome of one measurement is independent of the choice of…

In this reply, we point out that the claim by De Zela[2] is unjustified because the setup he discusses is \emph{not} equivalent to the setup analysed in our paper[1]. Hence his subsequent argument claiming the reproducibility of our…

We establish a connection between linear complementary dual (LCD) codes and caps in projective space. Using this framework and the structure theory of maximal caps, we derive nonexistence theorems for LCD codes with minimum distance at…

We use the WKB approximation to uncover divergences and instances of non-commuting limits in a large class of holographic soft-wall models. We show that the infinite sum over single resonance contributions for a variety of observables…

We present a simple experimental scheme which can be used to demonstrate an all-or-nothing type contradiction between non-contextual hidden variables and quantum mechanics. The scheme, which is inspired by recent ideas by Cabello and…

Suppose Alice and Bob share a maximally entangled state of any finite dimension and each perform two-outcome measurements on the respective part of the state. It is known, due to the recent result of Regev and Toner, that if a classical…

We show that (1) the violation of the Ekert 91 inequality is a sufficient condition for certification of the Kochen-Specker (KS) theorem, and (2) the violation of the Bennett-Brassard-Mermin 92 (BBM) inequality is, also, a sufficient…

We show a quantum state with explicit local hidden-variable models for correlations between any fixed number of subsystems which cannot be extended to a model simultaneously describing correlations between different numbers of subsystems.

In three spatial dimensions, the Compton wavelength $(R_C \propto M^{-1}$) and Schwarzschild radius $(R_S \propto M$) are dual under the transformation $M \rightarrow M_{P}^2/M$, where $M_{P}$ is the Planck mass. This suggests that there is…

Virtually all of the analysis of quantum contextuality is restricted to the case where events are represented by rank-one projectors. This restriction is arbitrary and not motivated by physical considerations. We show here that loosening…

In this article we show that the three-particle GHZ theorem can be reformulated in terms of inequalities, allowing imperfect correlations due to detector inefficiencies. We show quantitatively that taking into accout those inefficiencies,…

We construct a non-contextual hidden variable model consistent with all the kinematic predictions of quantum mechanics (QM). The famous Bell-KS theorem shows that non-contextual models which satisfy a further reasonable restriction are…

We show that, for any system with a number of levels which can be identified with n qubits, there is an inequality for the correlations between three compatible dichotomic measurements which must be satisfied by any noncontextual theory,…

In this talk I present a simple derivation of an old result of Kochen and Specker, which is apparently unrelated to the famous work of Bell on hidden variables, but is presumably equally important. Kochen and Specker showed in 1967 that…
