We consider four-dimensional qudits as qubit pairs and their qudit Pauli operators as qubit Clifford operators. This introduces a nesting, $C_1^2 \subset C_2^4 \subset C_3^2$, where $C_n^m$ is the $n$th level of the $m$-dimensional qudit…

It was recently found that the stabilizer and hypergraph entropy cones coincide for four parties, leading to a conjecture of their equivalence at higher party numbers. In this note, we show this conjecture to be false by proving new…
