Abstract

Bell nonlocality and Kochen-Specker contextuality are two of the most important concepts of the foundations of quantum theory. Despite being distinct concepts, both are related to correlations that can be observed in quantum systems, that, however, cannot be explained by means of 'classical' mechanisms. It is well known that, in some cases, it is not possible to observe both phenomena in the same experiment. In such cases, there is, thus, a 'monogamy' relation between them. However, this relation is not universal, and there are cases in which it is possible to observe both phenomena in the same experiment. It is not clear, though, which are the necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the existence of monogamy relations between contextuality and nonlocality. The investigation of this question is the conducting thread of this project, which also has the complementary goal of exploring possible applications of the simultaneous observation of Bell nonlocality and Kochen-Specker contextuality in the certification of quantum properties of uncharacterised preparation and /or measurement devices.
