Abstract: Fully revealing the mathmatical structure of quantum contextuality is a significant task, while some known contextuality theories are only applicable for rank-1 projectors. That is because they adopt the observable-based definitions. This paper analyses the challenges faced by some known contextuality theories, and establishes an event-based contextuality theory with partial Boolean algebra to overcome them. The theory can handle the scenarios composed of general projectors and observables, and provides a unified mathematical structure to investigate the hierarchy of quantum contextuality. It also introduces a tool to extend some known results from rank-1 cases to general cases. For example, we get a Kochen-Specker set with 12 projectors from the Cabello-Estebaranz-Garcia set with 18 vectors.

Connecting classical finite exchangeability to quantum theory [69.62715388742298]
Exchangeability is a fundamental concept in probability theory and statistics. We show how a de Finetti-like representation theorem for finitely exchangeable sequences requires a mathematical representation which is formally equivalent to quantum theory.

A Quantum Outlier Theorem [12.18340575383456]
In large rank projectors must contain pure quantum states in their images that are outlying states. quantum coding schemes that use projections, such as Schumacher compression, must communicate using outlier quantum states.

Comparing two cohomological obstructions for contextuality, and a generalised construction of quantum advantage with shallow circuits [0.0]
We show that a restricted class of quantum circuits is more powerful than its classical analogue. A class of circuits of bounded depth and fan-in (shallow circuits) exploits a particular family of examples of contextuality. A systematic way of taking examples of contextuality and producing unconditional quantum advantage results with shallow circuits.

Systematic construction of quantum contextuality scenarios with rank advantage [0.0]
A set of quantum measurements exhibits quantum contextuality when any consistent value assignment to the measurement outcomes leads to a contradiction with quantum theory. In the original Kochen-Specker-type of argument the measurement projectors are assumed to be rays, that is, of unit rank. We provide a systematic method to construct contextuality scenarios which require non-unit rank.

Optimal Measurement Structures for Contextuality Applications [4.407033774951362]
The Kochen-Specker (KS) theorem is a corner-stone result in the foundations of quantum mechanics. Recently specific substructures termed $01$-gadgets were shown to exist within KS proofs. We show these gadgets and their generalizations provide an optimal toolbox for contextuality applications.

At the Interface of Algebra and Statistics [0.0]
This thesis takes inspiration from quantum physics to investigate mathematical structure that lies at the interface of algebra and statistics. Every joint probability distribution on a finite set can be modeled as a rank one density operator. We show it is akin to conditional probability, and then investigate the extent to which the eigenvectors capture "concepts" inherent in the original joint distribution.
