| Sumario: | The theme of this issue is ‘Quantum contextuality, causality and freedom of choice.’ Contextuality, including non-locality as its special case, has long since becomeone of the central topics in foundations of quantum mechanics, also making inroads in computer science, psychology and linguistics. Contextuality (or lack thereof, non-contextuality) is a property of a system of measurements, broadly understood. The measurements have generally random outcomes, and, as a preliminary intuition, a system of measurements is contextual if one cannot find a joint distribution for their outcomes subject to certain constraints. A precise definition depends on how a system of measurements is represented, which can be done in several different ways. |
