• Abstract: We employ the resource theory of generalized contextuality as a tool for analyzing the structure of prepare-and-measure scenarios. We argue that this framework simplifies proofs of quantum contextuality in complex scenarios and strengthens existing arguments regarding robustness of experimental implementations. As a case study, we demonstrate quantum contextuality associated with any nontrivial noncontextuality inequality for a class of useful scenarios by noticing a connection between the resource theory and measurement simulability. Additionally, we expose a formal composition rule that allows engineering complex scenarios from simpler ones. This approach provides insights into the noncontextual polytope structure for complex scenarios and facilitates the identification of possible quantum violations of noncontextuality inequalities.

  This paper overcomes the challenges faced by some known contextuality theories by establishing an event-based contextuality theory. Our theory provides a precise mathematical framework for quantum contextuality, which can handle the scenarios composed of general projectors. We conclude that the Kochen-Specker contextuality is equivalent to the state-independent strong contextuality for finite dimensional quantum systems.

  A recent stream of structured learning approaches has improved the practical state of the art for a range of optimization problems. The key idea is to exploit the statistical distribution over instances instead of dealing with instances separately. In this article, we investigate methods that smooth the risk by perturbing the policy, which eases optimization and improves the generalization error.

  We introduce a hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations of the set of quantum correlations in generalised contextuality scenarios. We use it to determine the maximal quantum violation of several noncontextuality inequalities whose maximum violations were previously unknown. We then go further and use it to prove that certain preparation-contextual correlations cannot be explained with pure states.
