When it isn't possible to tell two distinct experimental procedures apart purely from their input/output statistics, then it seems a plausible hypothesis that the two procedures must be physically identical. We call such a hypothesis…

Contextuality is a distinctive feature of quantum theory and a fundamental resource for quantum computation. However, existing examples of contextuality in high-dimensional systems lack the necessary robustness required in experiments. Here…

Based on the quantum violation of bipartite Bell inequality, it has been demonstrated that the sharing of non-locality can be demonstrated for at most two sequential observers at one end and at most one-pair of observers at both ends. In…
