• Title: Two definitions of maximally $\psi$-epistemic ontological model and preparation non-contextuality
• Authors: A. K. Pan
• Abstract summary: We argue that 1M$psi$E and 2M$psi$E capture in notion of maximal $psi$-epistemicity. This leads one to conclude that 1M$psi$E and 2M$psi$E capture in notion of maximal $psi$-epistemicity.

• Abstract: An ontological model is termed as maximally $\psi$-epistemic if the overlap between any two quantum states is fully accounted for by the overlap of their respective probability distributions of ontic states. However, in literature, there exists the two different mathematical definitions (termed here as 1M$\psi$E and 2M$\psi$E) that capture the equivalent notion of maximal $\psi$-epistemicity. In this work, we provide three theorems to critically examine the connections between preparation non-contextuality and the aforementioned two definitions of maximal $\psi$- epistemicity. In Theorem-1, we provide a simple and direct argument of an existing proof to demonstrate that the mixed state preparation non-contextuality implies the first definition of maximal $\psi$-epistemicity. In Theorem-2, we prove that the second definition of maximal $\psi$-epistemicity implies pure-state preparation non-contextuality. If both the definitions capture the equivalent notion of maximal $\psi$-epistemicity then from the aforementioned two theorems one infers that the mixed-state preparation non-contextuality implies pure-state preparation non-contextuality. But, in Theorem-3, we demonstrate that the mixed-state preparation non-contextuality in an ontological model implies pure-state contextuality and vice-versa. This leads one to conclude that 1M$\psi$E and 2M$\psi$E capture inequivalent notion of maximal $\psi$-epistemicity. The implications of our results and their connections to other no-go theorems are discussed.

  Semi-measurement-independent randomness generation protocols based on Kochen-Specker contextuality offer attractive features. We show that a single qubit is non-contextual, i.e., the qubit correlations can be explained by a non-contextual hidden variable (NCHV) model. We point out possible attacks by quantum and general consistent (non-signalling) adversaries for certain classes of contextuality tests.

  We focus on a task called inductive few-shot knowledge graph completion (I-FKGC) Inspired by the idea of inductive reasoning, we cast I-FKGC as an inductive reasoning problem. We present a neural process-based hypothesis extractor that models the joint distribution of hypothesis, from which we can sample a hypothesis for predictions. In the second module, based on the hypothesis, we propose a graph attention-based predictor to test if the triple in the query set aligns with the extracted hypothesis.

  We introduce a class of probabilistic theories, where system dynamics are constrained to the minimal set of operations. Specifically, the allowed instruments are limited to those derived from compositions of preparations, measurements, swap transformations, and conditional tests. We demonstrate that minimal theories with conditioning and a spanning set of non-separable states satisfy two quantum no-go theorems.

  We prove the $n$-to-$n$ connected wedge theorem, which considers $n$ input and $n$ output locations at the boundary of anally AdS$_2+1$ spacetime. The proof holds in three bulk dimensions satisfying the null curvature condition and for semiclassical spacetimes satisfying standard conjectures. It also has consequences for quantum information theory: it reveals one pattern of entanglement which is sufficient for information processing in a particular class of causal networks.

  A structure composed of two parallel homogeneous layers is studied in the limit as their widths $l_j$ and $l_j$, and the distance between them $r$ shrinks to zero simultaneously. The existence of non-trivial bound states is proven in the squeezing limit, including the particular example of the squeezed potential in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function. The scenario how a single bound state survives in the squeezed system from a finite number of bound states in the finite system is described in detail.
