New and improved bounds on the contextuality degree of multi-qubit configurations
Résumé
We present algorithms and a C code to reveal quantum contextuality
and evaluate the contextuality degree (a way to quantify
contextuality) for a variety of point-line geometries located in
binary symplectic polar spaces of small rank. With this code we
were not only able to recover, in a more efficient way, all the
results of a recent paper by de Boutray et al. [(2022). Journal of
Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical 55 475301], but also
arrived at a bunch of new noteworthy results. The paper first
describes the algorithms and the C code. Then it illustrates its
power on a number of subspaces of symplectic polar spaces whose
rank ranges from 2 to 7. The most interesting new results include:
(i) non-contextuality of configurations whose contexts are
subspaces of dimension 2 and higher, (ii) non-existence of negative
subspaces of dimension 3 and higher, (iii) considerably improved
bounds for the contextuality degree of both elliptic and hyperbolic
quadrics for rank 4, as well as for a particular subgeometry of the
three-qubit space whose contexts are the lines of this space, (iv)
proof for the non-contextuality of perpsets and, last but not
least, (v) contextual nature of a distinguished subgeometry of a
multi-qubit doily, called a two-spread, and computation of its
contextuality degree. Finally, in the three-qubit polar space we
correct and improve the contextuality degree of the full
configuration and also describe finite geometric configurations
formed by unsatisfiable/invalid constraints for both types of
quadrics as well as for the geometry whose contexts are all 315
lines of the space.
