New forms of quantum value indefiniteness suggest that incompatible views on contexts are epistemic

TL;DR

This paper explores how new forms of quantum value indefiniteness, derived from extensions of the Kochen-Specker theorem, imply that differing views on quantum contexts are epistemic in nature.

Contribution

It introduces novel forms of quantum value indefiniteness based on extended Kochen-Specker theorems, highlighting the epistemic interpretation of quantum states across multiple contexts.

Findings

Quantum logics suggest true-implies-value indefiniteness

Different contextual views are epistemic

Extensions of Kochen-Specker support these interpretations

Abstract

Extensions of the Kochen-Specker theorem use quantum logics whose classical interpretation suggests a true-implies-value indefiniteness property. This can be interpreted as an indication that any view of a quantum state beyond a single context is epistemic.
