abstract

Correlations in Bell and noncontextuality inequalities can be expressed as a positive linear combination of probabilities of events. Exclusive events can be represented as adjacent vertices of a graph, so correlations can be associated to a subgraph. We show that the maximum value of the correlations for classical, quantum, and more general theories is the independence number, the Lov\'asz number, and the fractional packing number of this subgraph, respectively. We also show that, for any graph, there is always a correlation experiment such that the set of quantum probabilities is exactly the Gr\"otschel-Lov\'asz-Schrijver theta body. This identifies these combinatorial notions as fundamental physical objects and provides a method for singling out experiments with quantum correlations on demand.

  • Local Softmax and Global Weights in Non-Boolean Event Structures quant-ph · 2026-05-15 · unverdicted · none · ref 11 · internal anchor

    Local softmax with no-disturbance in non-Boolean event structures parametrizes the strictly positive admissible-weight polytope, with exotic weights arising from the structure itself.
