contextuality 2.0.0

Contextuality is a package that allows to compute various contextuality related quantities and formalize scenarios in quantum theory.

Contextuality package

This project is a starter project to have many tools to compute various quantities in measurement scenarios as defined by Abramsky and Brandenburger. It can be used in a variety of cases.

Install

To install the package from pypi you can simply run pip:

$ python -m pip install contextuality

Developers

If you wish to improve the package you can install from the sources with poetry:

$ poetry install --with dev

Documentation

The documentation is available on readthedocs.

Compile documentations

The documentation can be compiled in the docs directory.

$ cd docs
$ make html

then navigate to docs/build/html and open index.html to access the documentation.

Usage example

from contextuality.measurement_scenario import MeasurementScenario, MeasurementScenarioImplementations
import numpy as np
from contextuality.empirical_model import EmpiricalModel
from contextuality.utils import compute_max_cf, compute_deterministic_fraction

# Defining the contextuality scenario
X = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
M = [[i, (i + 1) % 5] for i in X]
O = [0, 1]
kcbs = MeasurementScenario(X, M, O)

# Equivalently from pre-defined scenarios
chsh = MeasurementScenarioImplementations.CHSH()

# We can make a simple empirical model...
empirical_model_ex = EmpiricalModel(kcbs, np.array([1, 0, 0, 0] * 5))

# ... or make a quantum realization of an empirical model
empirical_model = EmpiricalModel(kcbs)
meas = np.zeros((5, 2, 3, 3))  # shape = number mesurements, number of outcomes, dimension of state (d x d)
N = 1 / np.sqrt(1 + np.cos(np.pi / 5))
for i in range(5):
    vec = N * np.array([np.cos(4 * np.pi * i / 5), np.sin(4 * np.pi * i / 5), np.sqrt(np.cos(np.pi / 5))])
    meas[i][1] = np.outer(vec, vec)
    meas[i][0] = np.eye(3) - meas[i][1]

psi = np.array([0, 0, 1])
rho = np.outer(psi, psi)
empirical_model.quantum_realisation(rho, meas)

# We can compute the contextual fraction
ncf_empirical_model = empirical_model.compute_cf(solver="MOSEK")["NCF"]

# The signalling fraction from the utils
sf_empirical_model = empirical_model.compute_sf()['SF']

# Then there are plenty of functions to use from utils
result = compute_max_cf(kcbs, eta=0.3, sigma=0.5)  # Experimental

print(result['EmpiricalModel'].vector)

df = compute_deterministic_fraction(result["EmpiricalModel"], verbose=False)
print(df)

CF_result = result['EmpiricalModel'].compute_cf()
