Single-photon quantum contextuality on a chip
arXiv:1705.06237 · doi:10.1021/acsphotonics.7b00793
Abstract
In classical physics, properties of the objects exist independently on the context, i.e. whether and how measurements are performed. Quantum physics showed this assumption to be wrong and that Nature is indeed "contextual". Contextuality has been observed in the simplest physical systems such as single particles, and plays fundamental roles in quantum computation advantage. Here, we demonstrate for the first time quantum contextuality in an integrated photonic chip. The chip implements different combinations of measurements on a single photon delocalized on four distinct spatial modes. We show violations of a CHSH-like non-contextuality inequality by 14 standard deviations. This paves the way to compact and portable devices for contextuality-based quantum-powered protocols.
