• Abstract: Noncontextuality inequalities are usually derived from the distinguishability properties of quantum states, i.e. their orthogonality. Here, we show that antidistinguishability can also be used to derive noncontextuality inequalities. The Yu-Oh 13 ray noncontextuality inequality can be re-derived and generalized as an instance of our antidistinguishability method. For some sets of states, the antidistinguishability method gives tighter bounds on noncontextual models than just considering orthogonality, and the Hadamard states provide an example of this. We also derive noncontextuality inequalities based on mutually unbiased bases and symmetric informationally complete POVMs. Antidistinguishability based inequalities were initially discovered as overlap bounds for the reality of the quantum state. Our main contribution here is to show that they are also noncontextuality inequalities.

  Noninterference theory supports the analysis of secure computations in multi-level security systems. In a nondeterministic setting, assessing noninterference through weak bisimilarity is adequate for irreversible systems, whereas for reversible ones branching bisimilarity has been proven to be more appropriate. We recast noninterference properties by adopting probabilistic variants of weak and branching bisimilarities for irreversible and reversible systems respectively.

• How contextuality and antidistinguishability are related [0.0]
  Contextuality is a key characteristic that separates quantum from classical phenomena. There is no formalism to determine whether a set of states can exhibit contextuality. We show that the degree of contextuality within a set of states has a direct connection to its level of antidistinguishability.

  We explore the convergence and nonasymptotic maximal inequalities of supermartingales and backward submartingales in the space of positive semidefinite matrices. Our results lead to new concentration inequalities for either martingale dependent or exchangeable random symmetric matrices under a variety of tail conditions. These inequalities are usually expressed in the boundsner order, are sometimes valid simultaneously for all sample sizes or at an arbitrary data-dependent stopping time, and can often be tightened via an external randomization factor.

• Lifting noncontextuality inequalities [0.0]
  All known noncontextuality inequalities corresponding to facets of noncontextual polytopes are either Bell inequalities or refer to cyclic or state-independent contextuality scenarios. We introduce a general method for lifting noncontextuality inequalities, deriving facets of noncontextual polytopes for more complex scenarios from known facets of simpler subscenarios. Our results shed light on the structure of noncontextuality polytopes and the relationship between such polytopes across different scenarios.

• Corrected Bell and Noncontextuality Inequalities for Realistic Experiments [1.099532646524593]
  Contextuality is a feature of quantum correlations. It is crucial from a foundational perspective as a nonclassical phenomenon, and from an applied perspective as a resource for quantum advantage. We prove the continuity of a known measure of contextuality, the contextual fraction, which ensures its robustness to noise. We then bound the extent to which these relaxations can account for contextuality, culminating in a notion of genuine contextuality, which is robust to experimental imperfections.

• Measurement incompatibility is strictly stronger than disturbance [44.99833362998488]
  Heisenberg argued that measurements irreversibly alter the state of the system on which they are acting, causing an irreducible disturbance on subsequent measurements. This article shows that measurement incompatibility is indeed a sufficient condition for irreversibility of measurement disturbance. However, we exhibit a toy theory, termed the minimal classical theory (MCT), that is a counterexample for the converse implication.

• Fairness Under Feature Exemptions: Counterfactual and Observational Measures [34.5472206536785]
  We propose an information-theoretic decomposition of the total disparity into two components. A non-exempt component quantifies the part that cannot be accounted for by the critical features, and an exempt component quantifies the remaining disparity. We perform case studies to show how one can audit/train models while reducing non-exempt disparity.

  Violation of a noncontextuality inequality or the phenomenon referred to quantum contextuality' is a fundamental feature of quantum theory. We derive a novel family of noncontextuality inequalities along with their sum-of-squares decompositions. We prove that our inequalities can be used for self-testing of three-dimensional quantum state and measurements.
