Large violations in Kochen Specker contextuality and their applications (2106.15954v2)

Published 30 Jun 2021 in quant-ph

Abstract: The Kochen-Specker (KS) theorem is a fundamental result in quantum foundations that has spawned massive interest since its inception. We present state-independent non-contextuality inequalities with large violations, in particular, we exploit a connection between Kochen-Specker proofs and pseudo-telepathy games to show KS proofs in Hilbert spaces of dimension $d \geq 2{17}$ with the ratio of quantum value to classical bias being $O(\sqrt{d}/\log d)$. We study the properties of this KS set and show applications of the large violation. It has been recently shown that Kochen-Specker proofs always consist of substructures of state-dependent contextuality proofs called $01$-gadgets or bugs. We show a one-to-one connection between $01$-gadgets in $\mathbb{C}d$ and Hardy paradoxes for the maximally entangled state in $\mathbb{C}d \otimes \mathbb{C}d$. We use this connection to construct large violation $01$-gadgets between arbitrary vectors in $\mathbb{C}d$, as well as novel Hardy paradoxes for the maximally entangled state in $\mathbb{C}d \otimes \mathbb{C}d$, and give applications of these constructions. As a technical result, we show that the minimum dimension of the faithful orthogonal representation of a graph in $\mathbb{R}d$ is not a graph monotone, a result that that may be of independent interest.
