- Abstract summary: We relate notions of nonclassicality in the simplest nontrivial scenario.
We use an approach based on the notion of bounded ontological distinctness for preparations.
As an application of our findings, we treat the case of two-bit parity-oblivious multiplexing in the presence of noise.

- Abstract: In this paper we relate notions of nonclassicality in the simplest nontrivial
scenario (a prepare and measure scenario composed of four preparations and two
binary-outcome tomographically complete measurements). Specifically, we relate
the established method developed in [Pusey, PRA 98,022112(2018)] to witness a
violation of preparation noncontextuality, that is not suitable in experiments
where the operational equivalences to be tested are specified in advance, with
an approach based on the notion of bounded ontological distinctness for
preparations, defined in [Chaturvedi and Saha, Quantum 4, 345 (2020)]. In our
approach, we test bounded ontological distinctness for two particular
preparations that are relevant in certain information processing tasks in that
they are associated with the even- and odd-parity of the bits to communicate.
When there exists an ontological model where this distance is preserved we talk
of parity preservation. Our main result provides a noise threshold under which
violating parity preservation (and so bounded ontological distinctness) agrees
with the established method for witnessing preparation contextuality in the
simplest nontrivial scenario. This is achieved by first relating the violation
of parity preservation to the quantification of contextuality in terms of
inaccessible information as developed in [Marvian, arXiv:2003.05984(2020)],
that we also show, given the way we quantify noise, to be more robust in
witnessing contextuality than Pusey's noncontextuality inequality. As an
application of our findings, we treat the case of two-bit parity-oblivious
multiplexing in the presence of noise. In particular, we provide a condition
for which the result establishing preparation contextuality as a resource for
the quantum advantage of the protocol in the noiseless case still holds in the
noisy case.

Retrieval [139.21955930418815]
Cross-modal Retrieval methods build similarity relations between vision and language modalities by jointly learning a common representation space.
However, the predictions are often unreliable due to the Aleatoric uncertainty, which is induced by low-quality data, e.g., corrupt images, fast-paced videos, and non-detailed texts.
We propose a novel Prototype-based Aleatoric Uncertainty Quantification (PAU) framework to provide trustworthy predictions by quantifying the uncertainty arisen from the inherent data ambiguity.

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.

We use it to determine the maximal quantum violation of several noncontextuality inequalities whose maximum violations were previously unknown.
We then go further and use it to prove that certain preparation-contextual correlations cannot be explained with pure states.
