Abstract

We discuss several multiport interferometric preparation and measurement configurations and show that they are noncontextual. Generalizations to the n particle case are discussed.

Single Particle Interferometric Analogues of Multipartite Entanglement

Karl Svozil

Based on research by Reck et al. [1] and Zukowski et al. [2], preparation and measurement configurations for the singlet states of two and three two- and three-state particles are enumerated in terms of multiport interferometers.

Proposed direct test of a certain type of noncontextuality in quantum mechanics

Karl Svozil

The noncontextuality of quantum mechanics can be directly tested by measuring two entangled particles with more than two outcomes per particle. The two associated contexts are ``interlinked'' by common observables.

On the system loophole of generalized noncontextuality

Victor Gitton, Mischa P. Woods

Generalized noncontextuality is a well-studied notion of classicality that is applicable to a single system, as opposed to Bell locality. It relies on representing operationally indistinguishable procedures identically in an ontological model. However, operational indistinguishability depends on the set of operations that one may use to distinguish two procedures: we refer to this set as the reference of indistinguishability. Thus, whether or not a given experiment is noncontextual depends on the choice of reference. The choices of references appearing in the literature are seldom discussed, but typically relate to a notion of system underlying the experiment. This shift in perspective then begs the question: how should one define the extent of the system underlying an experiment? Our paper primarily aims at exposing this question rather than providing a definitive answer to it. We start by formulating a notion of relative noncontextuality for prepare-and-measure scenarios, which is simply noncontextuality with respect to an explicit reference of indistinguishability. We investigate how verdicts of relative noncontextuality depend on this choice of reference, and in the process introduce the concept of the noncontextuality graph of a prepare-and-measure scenario. We then discuss several proposals that one may appeal to in order to fix the reference to a specific choice, and relate these proposals to different conceptions of what a system really is. With this discussion, we advocate that whether or not an experiment is noncontextual is not as absolute as often perceived.

Robust generation of N-partite N-level singlet states by identical particle interferometry

Matteo Piccolini, Marcin Karczewski, Andreas Winter +1 more

Abstract We propose an interferometric scheme for generating the totally antisymmetric state of N identical bosons with N internal levels (generalized singlet). This state is a resource for various problems with dramatic quantum advantage. The procedure uses a sequence of Fourier multi-ports, combined with coincidence measurements filtering the results. Successful preparation of the generalized singlet is confirmed when the N particles of the input state stay separate (anti-bunch) on each multiport. The scheme is robust to local lossless noise and works even with a totally mixed input state.
