• Abstract: Contextuality is a hallmark feature of the quantum theory that captures its incompatibility with any noncontextual hidden-variable model. The Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger (GHZ)-type paradoxes are proofs of contextuality that reveal this incompatibility with deterministic logical arguments. However, the simplest GHZ-type paradox with the fewest number of complete contexts and the largest amount of nonclassicality remains elusive. Here, we derive a GHZ-type paradox utilizing only three complete contexts and show this number saturates the lower bound posed by quantum theory. We demonstrate the paradox with a time-domain fiber optical platform and recover all essential ingredients in a 37-dimensional contextuality test based on high-speed modulation, convolution, and homodyne detection of time-multiplexed pulsed coherent light. By proposing and observing a strong form of contextuality in high Hilbert-space dimensions, our results pave the way for the exploration of exotic quantum correlations with time-multiplexed optical systems.

  We investigate how the superposition principle affects the gravitational time dilation observed by a simple clock. We show that the emission rate of an atom prepared in a coherent superposition of separated wave packets in a gravitational field is different from the emission rate of an atom in a classical mixture of these packets.

• Finite-temperature quantum discordant criticality [0.0]
  In quantum statistical mechanics, finite-temperature phase transitions are governed by classical field theories. Recent contributions have shown how entanglement is typically very short-ranged, and thus uninformative about long-ranged critical correlations. We show the existence of finite-temperature phase transitions where a broader form of quantum correlation than entanglement, the entropic quantum discord, can display genuine signatures of critical behavior.
