in summary , we proved a variant of the kochen - specker theorem showing that the non - classicality implied by the kochen - specker theorem is , in a specific sense , maximal . specifically , under the assumptions that ( 1 ) any value definite observables behave noncontextually , and ( 2 ) contexts obey weak ` admissi...
if a system is prepared in a pure state , then it is reasonable to assume that any value assignment ( i.e. , hidden variable model ) for this system assigns the value 1 to the observable projecting onto the one - dimensional linear subspace spanned by , and the value 0 to those projecting onto linear subspaces orthogon...
the kochen - specker theorem proves the inability to assign , simultaneously , noncontextual definite values to all ( of a finite set of ) quantum mechanical observables in a consistent manner . if one assumes that any definite values behave noncontextually , one can nonetheless only conclude that _ some _ observables ...
