"Quantum violation of the Suppes-Zanotti inequalities and "contextuality"";
International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 60 (2021), 6; 2300 - 2310.



English abstract:
The Suppes-Zanotti inequalities involving the joint expectations of just three binary quantum observables are (re-)derived by the hull computation of the respective correlation polytope. A min-max calculation reveals its maximal quantum violations correspond to a generalized Tsirelson bound. Notions of ``contextuality" motivated by such violations are critically reviewed.

German abstract:
Die Suppes-Zanotti Ungleichungen, welche die Korrelationsfunktionen von nur drei binären Quantenobservablen betreffen, werden durch die Hüllenberechnung des jeweiligen Korrelationspolytops abgeleitet. Eine Min-Max-Berechnung zeigt, dass ihre maximalen Quantenverletzungen einer verallgemeinerten Tsirelson-Schranke entsprechen. Begriffe der "Kontextualität", die durch solche Verletzungen motiviert sind, werden kritisch beleuchtet.

Keywords:
Suppes-Zanotti inequalities, Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger argument, Kochen-Specker theorem, Born rule, min-max calculation, convex polytope, contextuality
