Every state that is contextual is nonlocal.

...and the inverse, is every state that is nonlocal is contextual ?

Not true. For example, spin of a single particle is contextual, but not nonlocal.

talking about entanglement.the question is really for the second proposition (vinculated), the first is assumed from the beggining...that every state that is contextual with respect to the defined test of contextuality is nonlocal as per the CHSH test, but the converse is not true..non locality like a form of contextuality.

mutually agree.
contextuality is broader, subsumes nonlocality.
same thing in quantum information (nonlocality is a generic feature of non-signaling).Existence of two spin-1/2 states that are non-local yet non-contextual.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
