State-Independent Experimental Test of Quantum Contextuality in an Indivisible System
State-Independent Experimental Test of Quantum Contextuality in an Indivisible System
We report the first state-independent experimental test of quantum contextuality on a single photonic qutrit (three-dimensional system), based on a recent theoretical proposal [Yu and Oh, Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 030402 (2012)]. Our experiment spotlights quantum contextuality in its most basic form, in a way that is independent of either …
