• Title: Contextuality, Complementarity, Signaling, and Bell tests
• Authors: Andrei Khrennikov
• Abstract summary: We focus on the complementarity-contextuality interplay with connection to the Bell inequalities. Bell inequalities are interpreted as the statistical tests of contextuality and, hence, incompatibility. We discuss possible sources of signaling; for example, dependence of the state preparation on measurement settings.

• Abstract: This is a review devoted to the complementarity-contextuality interplay with connection to the Bell inequalities. Starting discussion with complementarity, we point out to contextuality as its seed. {\it Bohr-contextuality} is dependence of observable's outcome on the experimental context, on system-apparatus interaction. Probabilistically, complementarity means that the {\it joint probability distribution} (JPD) does not exist. Instead of the JPD, one has to operate with contextual probabilities. The Bell inequalities are interpreted as the statistical tests of contextuality and, hence, incompatibility. For context dependent probabilities, these inequalities may be violated. We stress that contextuality tested by the Bell inequalities is so called {\it joint measurement contextualit}y (JMC), the special case of Bohr's contextuality. Then, we examine the role of signaling (marginal inconsistency). In QM, signaling can be considered as an experimental artifact. However, often experimental data has signaling patterns. We discuss possible sources of signaling; for example, dependence of the state preparation on measurement settings. In principle, one can extract the measure of "pure contextualize" from data shadowed by signaling. This theory known as {\it Contextuality by Default} (CbD). It leads to inequalities with the additional term quantifying signaling, Bell-Dzhafarov-Kujala inequalities.

  We present a new perspective on how readers integrate context during real-time language comprehension. Our proposals build on surprisal theory, which posits that the processing effort of a linguistic unit is an affine function of its in-context information content.

• Kolmogorovian Censorship, Predictive Incompleteness, and the locality loophole in Bell experiments [0.0]
  Kolmogorovian Censorship stipulates that quantum probabilities can be identified with classical, Kolmogorovian probabilities. In a loophole-free Bell test, the remote random choices of measurements have the purpose to prevent this matching. We argue that predictive incompleteness is the correct quantum way to understand the violation of Bell's inequalities.

In this paper, Sica's approach is extended to series with non ideal efficiency and to the actual time structure of experimental data.

• Optimal and tight Bell inequalities for state-independent contextuality sets [0.0]
  Two fundamental quantum resources, nonlocality and contextuality, can be connected through Bell inequalities. For existing Bell inequalities, the nonlocality produced by SI-C sets is very sensitive to noise. We show that, in both cases, nonlocality is sufficiently resistant for experiments.
