Contextuality: At the Borders of Paradox

Samson Abramsky

Published 2020-11-07Version 1

Contextuality is a key feature of quantum mechanics. We present the sheaf-theoretic approach to contextuality introduced by Abramsky and Brandenburger, and show how it covers a range of logical and physical phenomena "at the borders of paradox".
