Quantum state-independent contextuality requires 13 rays
We show that, regardless of the dimension of the Hilbert space, there exists no set of rays revealing state-independent contextuality with less than 13 rays. This implies that the set proposed by Yu and Oh in dimension three (2012 Phys. Rev. Lett. 108 030402) is actually the minimal set in quantum t...

| Sumario: | We show that, regardless of the dimension of the Hilbert space, there exists no set of rays revealing state-independent contextuality with less than 13 rays. This implies that the set proposed by Yu and Oh in dimension three (2012 Phys. Rev. Lett. 108 030402) is actually the minimal set in quantum theory. This contrasts with the case of Kochen–Specker sets, where the smallest set occurs in dimension four. |
