• Title: The geometry of simplicial distributions on suspension scenarios
• Authors: Aziz Kharoof,
• Abstract summary: The geometrical structure of simplicial distributions can be seen as a resource for applications in quantum information theory. We show that applying the cone construction to the measurement space makes the corresponding non-signaling polytope equal to the join of $m$ copies of the original polytope. The decomposition done for simplicial distributions on a cone measurement space provides deeper insights into the geometry of simplicial distributions on a suspension measurement space.

• Abstract: Quantum measurements often exhibit non-classical features, such as contextuality, which generalizes Bell's non-locality and serves as a resource in various quantum computation models. Existing frameworks have rigorously captured these phenomena, and recently, simplicial distributions have been introduced to deepen this understanding. The geometrical structure of simplicial distributions can be seen as a resource for applications in quantum information theory. In this work, we use topological foundations to study this geometrical structure, leveraging the fact that, in this simplicial framework, measurements and outcomes are represented as spaces. This allows us to depict contextuality as a topological phenomenon. We show that applying the cone construction to the measurement space makes the corresponding non-signaling polytope equal to the join of $m$ copies of the original polytope, where $m$ is the number of possible outcomes per measurement. Then we glue two copies of cone measurement spaces to obtain a suspension measurement space. The decomposition done for simplicial distributions on a cone measurement space provides deeper insights into the geometry of simplicial distributions on a suspension measurement space and aids in characterizing the contextuality there. Additionally, we apply these results to derive a new type of Bell inequalities (inequalities that determine the set of local joint probabilities/non-contextual simplicial distributions) and to offer a mathematical explanation for certain contextual vertices from the literature.

  Quantum realism states that projective measurements in quantum systems establish the reality of physical properties, even in the absence of a revealed outcome. This framework provides a nuanced perspective on the distinction between classical and quantum notions of realism, emphasizing the contextuality and complementarity inherent to quantum systems. We derive geometric monotones of quantum realism using trace distance, Hilbert-Schmidt distance, Schatten $p$-distances, Bures, and Hellinger distances.

  An entanglement measure based on the Fubini-Study metric has been recently introduced by Cocchiarella and co-workers. We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.

• Simplicial distributions, convex categories and contextuality [0.0]
  Simplicial distributions are models that extend presheaves of probability distributions by elevating sets of measurements and outcomes to spaces. This paper introduces the notion of convex categories to study simplicial distributions from a categorical perspective. We show that a simplicial distribution is noncontextual if and only if it is weakly invertible.

• Simplicial quantum contextuality [0.0]
  We introduce a new framework for contextuality based on simplicial sets, models of topological spaces that play a prominent role in homotopy theory. Our approach extends measurement scenarios to consist of spaces (rather than sets) of measurements and outcomes. We present a topologically inspired new proof of Fine's theorem for characterizing noncontextuality in Bell scenarios.

We investigate the theoretical properties of the maps of such sequence, eventually we focus on the case of maps between implementing neural networks of practical interest.

  Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
