I'm reading the following paper.
https://arxiv.org/abs/1409.1570
Is there an epistemic model of a qubit in which the number of ontic states is finite? I realize Spekkens toy bit discussed in the paper has only 4 ontic states, but it seems to only model a qubit that was prepared in one of 3 quantum states and is not representative of qubit in general.
Is there either another model like Spekkens that does represent a full blown qubit or alternatively a proof that shows infinite states would be required?
