• Abstract: The CHSH inequality is an inequality used to test locality in quantum theory and is recognized as one of Bell's inequalities. In contrast, the KCBS inequality is employed to test noncontextuality in quantum theory. While certain quantum states are known to violate these inequalities individually, it was previously assumed that no state could violate both inequalities simultaneously. This assumption is encapsulated in the concept of the `monogamy relation.' It describes a trade-off between nonlocality and contextuality: the violation of one inequality typically excludes the possibility of violating the other. However, Xue et al. demonstrated that simultaneous violations of both the CHSH and KCBS inequalities are possible with specific choices of observables. This discovery challenges the universal validity of the monogamy relation. It also suggests that the relationship between contextuality and nonlocality is more complex than previously understood. They further showed that numerous scenarios exist where both the CHSH inequality and a contextuality inequality involving more than five observables are violated. However, the number of such scenarios is finite. Building on this, we present two main results. The first is that there are infinitely many scenarios in which both the CHSH inequality and a contextuality inequality involving an odd number of observables are violated. This finding reveals the existence of infinitely many scenarios where the monogamy relation between the CHSH inequality and the noncontextuality inequality no longer holds. The second is that certain quantum states violate both the KCBS inequality and a nonlocality inequality distinct from the CHSH inequality. These insights deepen our understanding of the complex relationship between nonlocality and contextuality, and open avenues for exploring state-dependent inequalities and their physical implications.

• Time series and the meaning of quantum non-locality [55.2480439325792]
  The derivation of Bell's inequalities gives precise meaning to the idea of quantum non-locality. It also makes evident why using it for faster than light signaling is impossible. It is demonstrated that series of outcomes, even if they violate Bell's inequalities, can be always embedded in a set of factual and counter-factual data.

• An inconsistency in the CHSH inequality [0.0]
  Violation of the CHSH inequality supposedly demonstrates an irreconcilable conflict between quantum mechanics and local, realistic hidden variable theories. We show that the mathematical assumptions underlying the proof of the CHSH inequality are, in fact, incompatible with the physics of the experiments testing such inequality.

  We introduce a class of probabilistic theories, where system dynamics are constrained to the minimal set of operations. Specifically, the allowed instruments are limited to those derived from compositions of preparations, measurements, swap transformations, and conditional tests. We demonstrate that minimal theories with conditioning and a spanning set of non-separable states satisfy two quantum no-go theorems.

  Louis Sica derived Bell's inequalities from the hypothesis that the time series of outcomes observed in one station does not change if the setting in the other station is changed. In this paper, Sica's approach is extended to series with non ideal efficiency and to the actual time structure of experimental data.

  We develop methods for detecting causal scenarios that impose inequality constraints versus those which do not. Many scenarios with exclusively equality constraints can be detected via a condition articulated by Henson, Lal and Pusey. We are able to resolve all but three causal scenarios, providing evidence that the HLP condition is, in fact, exhaustive.

  In contrast to the basic Mandelstam-Tamm inequality, we are concerned with a subspace subject to the Schroedinger evolution. By using the concept of maximal angle between subspaces we derive optimal bounds on the speed of such a subspace evolution. These bounds may be viewed as further generalizations of the Mandelstam-Tamm inequality.

• Minimal scenario facet Bell inequalities for multi-qubit states [0.0]
  Facet inequalities play an important role in detecting the nonlocality of a quantum state. With the increase in the number of parties, measurement outcomes, or/and the number of measurement settings, there are more nontrivial facet inequalities. We show that for noisy W states, our inequality is more effective than the well-known Mermin inequality.
