• Abstract: KS-contextuality is a crucial feature of quantum theory. Previous research demonstrated the vanishing of $N$-cycle KS-contextuality in setups where multiple independent observers measure sequentially on the same system, which we call Public Systems. This phenomenon can be explained as the additional observers' measurements degrading the state and depleting the quantum resource. This explanation would imply that state-independent contextuality should survive in such a system. In this paper, we show that this is not the case. We achieved this result by simulating an observer trying to violate the Peres-Mermin noncontextuality inequality in a Public System. Additionally, we provide an analytical description of our setup, explaining the loss of contextuality even in the state-independent case. Ultimately, these results show that state-independent contextuality is not independent of what happens to the system in-between the measurements of a context.

  We prove that entanglement in a nonlocal scenario can arise only if there is preparation and measurement contextuality. As a direct consequence, our result allows us to translate any inequality for testing preparation and measurement contextuality into an entanglement test.

• Unconventional mechanism of virtual-state population through dissipation [125.99533416395765]
  We report a phenomenon occurring in open quantum systems by which virtual states can acquire a sizable population in the long time limit. This means that the situation where the virtual state remains unpopulated can be metastable. We show how these results can be relevant for practical questions such as the generation of stable and metastable entangled states in dissipative systems of interacting qubits.

• Quantum Relativity of Subsystems [58.720142291102135]
  We show that different reference frame perspectives induce different sets of subsystem observable algebras, which leads to a gauge-invariant, frame-dependent notion of subsystems and entanglement. Such a QRF perspective does not inherit the distinction between subsystems in terms of the corresponding tensor factorizability of the kinematical Hilbert space and observable algebra. Since the condition for this to occur is contingent on the choice of QRF, the notion of subsystem locality is frame-dependent.

We develop an inequality from the non-contextual (NC) ontic model, and construct a quantum situation involving measurements from the KCBS inequality.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
