Contextuality scenarios refer to situations in which the outcome of a measurement cannot be understood without considering the context, such as the setting of other simultaneous measurements. This concept challenges classical intuitions and is central to understanding the foundations of quantum mechanics, where these scenarios reveal the non-classical correlations that defy local realism.

classical intuitions

Foundations of quantum mechanics explore the fundamental principles and interpretations that underpin the behavior of particles at the quantum level, challenging classical intuitions about reality. This field addresses complex phenomena like wave-particle duality, superposition, and entanglement, which have profound implications for our understanding of the universe.

non-classical correlations

Local realism is a philosophical framework combining the principles of locality and realism, suggesting that objects have definite states and properties independent of observation and that effects cannot occur instantaneously over a distance. This concept has been challenged by quantum mechanics, particularly through experiments showing violations of Bell's inequalities, implying non-locality or the unreality of quantum states.
