Distinguished three-qubit 'magicity' via automorphisms of the split Cayley hexagon
Michel Planat, Metod Saniga, Frederic Holweck
Disregarding the identity, the remaining 63 elements of the generalized three-qubit Pauli group are found to contain 12096 distinct copies of Mermin's magic pentagram. Remarkably,…
'Magic' Configurations of Three-Qubit Observables and Geometric Hyperplanes of the Smallest Split Cayley Hexagon
Metod Saniga, Michel Planat, Petr Pracna +1
Recently Waegell and Aravind [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 45 (2012), 405301, 13 pages] have given a number of distinct sets of three-qubit observables, each furnishing a proof of the…
Five-Qubit Contextuality, Noise-Like Distribution of Distances Between Maximal Bases and Finite Geometry
Michel Planat, Metod Saniga
Employing five commuting sets of five-qubit observables, we propose specific 160-661 and 160-21 state proofs of the Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem that are also proofs of Bell's theor…
Finite Geometry Behind the Harvey-Chryssanthacopoulos Four-Qubit Magic Rectangle
Metod Saniga, Michel Planat
A "magic rectangle" of eleven observables of four qubits, employed by Harvey and Chryssanthacopoulos (2008) to prove the Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem in a 16-dimensional Hilbert spa…
Charting the Real Four-Qubit Pauli Group via Ovoids of a Hyperbolic Quadric of PG(7,2)
Metod Saniga, Peter Levay, Petr Pracna
The geometry of the real four-qubit Pauli group, being embodied in the structure of the symplectic polar space W(7,2), is analyzed in terms of ovoids of a hyperbolic quadric of PG(…
