Exploring Quantum Contextuality with the Quantum Moebius-Escher-Penrose hypergraph (2409.10179v2)

Abstract: This paper presents the quantum Moebius-Escher-Penrose hypergraph, drawing inspiration from paradoxical constructs such as the Moebius strip and Penrose's `impossible objects'. The hypergraph is constructed using faithful orthogonal representations in Hilbert space, thereby embedding the graph within a quantum framework. Additionally, a quasi-classical realization is achieved through two-valued states and partition logic, leading to an embedding within a Boolean algebra. This dual representation delineates the distinctions between classical and quantum embeddings, with a particular focus on contextuality, highlighted by violations of exclusivity and completeness, quantified through classical and quantum probabilities. The study also examines violations of Boole's conditions of possible experience using correlation polytopes, underscoring the inherent contextuality of the hypergraph. These results offer deeper insights into quantum contextuality and its intricate relationship with classical logic structures.
