Probing the limits of correlations in an indivisible quantum system

Abstract: We employ a trapped ion to study quantum contextual correlations in a single qutrit using the 5-observable KCBS inequality, which is arguably the most fundamental non-contextuality inequality for testing Quantum Mechanics (QM). We quantify the effect of systematics in our experiment by purposely scanning the degree of signaling between measurements, which allows us to place realistic bounds on the non-classicality of the observed correlations. Our results violate the classical bound for this experiment by up t… Show more

“…CbD is usually taken to be useful for inconsistently connected systems (systems with 'disturbance'), where measurements of the same property in different contexts may have differently distributed outcomes [5,[27][28][29][30][31]. However, if measurements are treated as random variables within the framework of classical probability theory, CbD offers considerable conceptual clarity even for consistently connected systems, those with no 'disturbance'.…”

“…The "maximally noncontextual models" [40,58] defined as those in which outcome noncontextuality holds with the maximum probability allowed by the observed marginals. That is, models that are only as conspiratorial as needed to account for the disturbance observed in the marginals.…”

“…However, as tests of noncontextual models, they leave open the sharpness loophole. On the other hand, there are contextuality tests free of the detection loophole and whose correlations cannot be produced by specific mechanisms exploiting the lack of perfect repeatability ( 19 , 40 ). However, they suffer from the compatibility loophole, as they require sequential measurements performed on the same system.…”
