Searching for Quantum Contextual Models
POSTER
Abstract
Quantum states may be classified in a number of ways; of particular interest are quantum states that exhibit the property of contextuality. This research presents an outline and attempts to establish a framework inside of which it may be possible to determine whether or not a given quantum state exhibits contextual behavior. As an example, through a trial-and-error approach it has been determined that 3, 4, and 5-qubit Werner states are highly unlikely to exhibit contextuality. Additionally, a model is proposed in an effort to help illuminate possible quantum states that may be tested.
