Equivalence between contextuality and negativity of the Wigner function for qudits

Nicolas Delfosse, Cihan Okay, Juan Bermejo-Vega +2

Contextuality and negativity of the Wigner function are two notions of non-classicality for quantum systems. Howard, Wallman, Veitch and Emerson proved recently that these two noti…
