Abstract

In this scientific initiation project it is proposed a study of contextually in quantum theory through a graph theoretic approach. In this way, part of the project is intended for learning some required aspects of graph theory, and for introducing some basic concepts of quantum mechanics. After being acquainted with the topics above, the project aims to investigate what is special in quantum correlations, bringing the student to the latest literature in the area. (AU)
