Very ample line bundles, contextuality and quantum computation

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

I relate contextuality to line bundles. Line bundles are important in algebraic geometry, they determine through their global sections rational maps to projective spaces. I explain how such maps, if they exist, relate rationally the input and output of measurement based computation (MBQC) and show geometrically that, indeed, contextuality is a necessary resource for the computational advantage in MBQC. I also leverage the definition of MBQC to category theory and present it as a "subfunctor" of the spectral presheaf. In general, the MBQC functor is pointless whereas the computation is trivial.
