The discussion focuses on seeking resources to understand quantum contextuality and its mathematical formalism. A participant suggests starting with "Quantum Mechanics: A Modern Development" by Leslie Ballentine, emphasizing its suitability for graduate-level physics students. The inquirer confirms their background in Hilbert spaces and quantum mechanics, indicating readiness for advanced material. Additional recommendations for accessible resources are encouraged, particularly from local libraries. The conversation highlights the importance of foundational knowledge in tackling complex quantum concepts.

Is there anybody who can help me in introducing some chapters of books or maybe some articles that teaches Quantum contextuality and its mathematical formalism in an understandable format? thanks.

What is your math background?

I'm asking because you've tagged this thread with an "A" prefix, indicating that you want an answer suitable for someone who has completed an undergraduate physics major and is now in graduate school working towards a master's or PhD degree. If so, you should start by thoroughly nailing down the mathematical formalism in Ballentine.

Thanks for your reply. You are right. I am a master student in physics and I know Hilbert spaces and some mathematical knowledges needed for QM. BTW, what is the exact name of your mentioned book?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...
