• Authors: Sumit Mukherjee, Shivam Naonit and A. K. Pan
• Abstract summary: We show that contextual advantage can be obtained for any value of prior probability when only two quantum states are present in a task. But surprisingly, in the case of three mirror-symmetric states, the contextual advantage is available only for a restrictive range of prior probabilities with which the states are prepared.

• Abstract: The generalized notion of noncontextuality provides an avenue to explore the fundamental departure of quantum theory from a classical explanation. Recently, extracting a different form of quantum advantage in various information processing tasks has received an upsurge of interest. In a recent work [D. Schmid and R. W. Spekkens, Phys. Rev. X 8, 011015 (2018)] it has been demonstrated that discrimination of two nonorthogonal pure quantum states entails contextual advantage when the states are supplied with equal prior probabilities. We generalized the work to arbitrary prior probabilities as well as to three arbitrary mirror-symmetric states. We show that the contextual advantage can be obtained for any value of prior probability when only two quantum states are present in the task. But surprisingly, in the case of three mirror-symmetric states, the contextual advantage is available only for a restrictive range of prior probabilities with which the states are prepared.

  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.
