Contextuality witness inspired by optimal state discrimination
arXiv:2310.12716 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.109.032202
Abstract
Many protocols and tasks in quantum information science rely inherently on the fundamental notion of contextuality to provide advantages over their classical counterparts, and contextuality represents one of the main differences between quantum and classical physics. In this work we present a witness for preparation contextuality inspired by optimal two-state discrimination. The main idea is based on finding the accessible averaged success and error probabilities in both classical and quantum models. We can then construct a noncontextuality inequality and associated witness which we find to be robust against depolarising noise and loss in the form of inconclusive events.
