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?
 
We often see discussions about what QM and QFT mean, but hardly anything on just how fundamental they are to much of physics. To rectify that, see the following; https://www.cambridge.org/engage/api-gateway/coe/assets/orp/resource/item/66a6a6005101a2ffa86cdd48/original/a-derivation-of-maxwell-s-equations-from-first-principles.pdf 'Somewhat magically, if one then applies local gauge invariance to the Dirac Lagrangian, a field appears, and from this field it is possible to derive Maxwell’s...
I read Hanbury Brown and Twiss's experiment is using one beam but split into two to test their correlation. It said the traditional correlation test were using two beams........ This confused me, sorry. All the correlation tests I learnt such as Stern-Gerlash are using one beam? (Sorry if I am wrong) I was also told traditional interferometers are concerning about amplitude but Hanbury Brown and Twiss were concerning about intensity? Isn't the square of amplitude is the intensity? Please...
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...
