- Authors: Carles Roch i Carceller and Jonatan Bohr Brask
- Abstract summary: We present a witness for preparation contextuality inspired by optimal two-state discrimination.
The main idea is based on finding the accessible probabilities averaged success and error in both classical and quantum models.
We can then construct a noncontextuality inequality and associated witness which we find to be robust against depolarising noise and loss in the form of inconclusive events.

- Abstract: Many protocols and tasks in quantum information science rely inherently on
the fundamental notion of contextuality to provide advantages over their
classical counterparts, and contextuality represents one of the main
differences between quantum and classical physics. In this work we present a
witness for preparation contextuality inspired by optimal two-state
discrimination. The main idea is based on finding the accessible averaged
success and error probabilities in both classical and quantum models. We can
then construct a noncontextuality inequality and associated witness which we
find to be robust against depolarising noise and loss in the form of
inconclusive events.
