Geometric contextuality from the Maclachlan-Martin Kleinian groups

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

There are contextual sets of multiple qubits whose commutation is parametrized thanks to the coset geometry G\mathcal{G} of a subgroup HH of the two-generator free group G=⟨x,y⟩G=\left\langle x,y\right\rangle. One defines geometric contextuality from the discrepancy between the commutativity of cosets on G\mathcal{G} and that of quantum observables.It is shown in this paper that Kleinian subgroups K=⟨f,g⟩K=\left\langle f,g\right\rangle that are non-compact, arithmetic, and generated by two elliptic isometries ff and gg (the Martin-Maclachlan classification), are appropriate contextuality filters. Standard contextual geometries such as some thin generalized polygons (starting with Mermin's 3×33 \times 3 grid) belong to this frame. The Bianchi groups PSL(2,O_d)PSL(2,O\_d), d∈{1,3}d \in \{1,3\} defined over the imaginary quadratic field O_d=Q(−d)O\_d=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d}) play a special role.
