Summary

Story summary

Physicists demonstrated a GHZ-type paradox using photons in 37 dimensions, revealing quantum contextuality.
The work, published in Science Advances, shows how contextuality affects quantum measurements and challenges classical physics.
They developed a graph-theoretic method to construct these paradoxes, enabling tests with fewer contexts.
The researchers aim to leverage these insights to achieve greater quantum advantages in high-dimensional systems.
