Check this paper out to learn about contextuality scenarios for spaces of measurements and outcomes!

Simplicial distributions are new objects that combine simplicial sets from homotopy theory and elementary probability theory to study contextuality, a generalization of Bell's non-locality.

New paper introducing simplicial methods in operator solutions of linear systems:
https://t.co/mdE6e5Dv7v

These solutions play an important role in quantum contextuality and non-local games. Our topological approach formulates solutions as maps between combinatorial models of spaces known as simplicial sets.

Group-theoretic invariants, such as the solution group, can be captured as invariants of the associated spaces.

Closing the loop: after MBQC now cohomology proves to be central for QCM!

Andrew Wiles and his student Richard Taylor proved Fermat’s Last Theorem by showing that every elliptic curve produces an infinite power series which is modular, as the one shown here. Learn more by watching “The Langlands Program, Explained.” https://t.co/q6g2rQRU8l
