• Abstract: Finding a set of empirical criteria fulfilled by any theory that satisfies the generalized notion of noncontextuality is a challenging task of both operational and foundational importance. The conventional approach of deriving facet inequalities from the relevant noncontextual polytope is computationally demanding. Specifically, the noncontextual polytope is a product of two polytopes, one for preparations and the other for measurements, and the dimension of the former typically increases polynomially with the number of measurements. This work presents an alternative methodology for constructing a polytope that encompasses the actual noncontextual polytope while ensuring that the dimension of the polytope associated with the preparations remains constant regardless of the number of measurements and their outcome size. In particular, the facet inequalities of this polytope serve as necessary conditions for noncontextuality. To demonstrate the efficacy of our methodology, we apply it to nine distinct contextuality scenarios involving four to nine preparations and two to three measurements to obtain the respective sets of facet inequalities. Additionally, we retrieve the maximum quantum violations of these inequalities. Our investigation uncovers many novel non-trivial noncontextuality inequalities and reveals intriguing aspects and applications of quantum contextual correlations.

  We introduce a novel approach to learn geometries such as depth and surface normal from images while incorporating geometric context. Our approach extracts geometric context that encodes the geometric variations present in the input image and correlates depth estimation with geometric constraints. Our method unifies depth and surface normal estimations within a cohesive framework, which enables the generation of high-quality 3D geometry from images.

• Lifting noncontextuality inequalities [0.0]
  All known noncontextuality inequalities corresponding to facets of noncontextual polytopes are either Bell inequalities or refer to cyclic or state-independent contextuality scenarios. We introduce a general method for lifting noncontextuality inequalities, deriving facets of noncontextual polytopes for more complex scenarios from known facets of simpler subscenarios. Our results shed light on the structure of noncontextuality polytopes and the relationship between such polytopes across different scenarios.

  Entanglement -- the coherent correlations between parties in a quantum system -- is well-understood and quantifiable. Despite the utility of such systems, methods for quantifying high-dimensional entanglement are more limited and experimentally challenging. We present a novel certification method whose measurement requirements scale linearly with dimension subsystem.

• Characterising and bounding the set of quantum behaviours in contextuality scenarios [0.0]
  This work defines contextuality scenarios, along with the polytope of general contextual behaviours. We formulate novel semidefinite programming relaxations for bounding these sets of quantum contextual behaviours. Most significantly, to circumvent the inadequacy of pure states and projective measurements, we present a novel unitary operator based semidefinite relaxation technique.

  We introduce a hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations of the set of quantum correlations in generalised contextuality scenarios. 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.
