Following the strategy proposed by Cabello et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 130404 (2008)], a Bell-like state was generated and three expectation values were determined. The observed violation 2.291 +/- 0.008 > 1 clearly shows that quantum mechanical predictions cannot be reproduced by noncontextual hidden variables theories.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-07-23T22:07:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "experimental test", "quantum contextuality", "neutron interferometry", "noncontextual hidden variables theories", "single neutron system" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
