The'unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences'may at times give the impression that natural science, especially modern theoretical physics, is all but a formal apparatus. However, a key challenge of physics remains to align everyday notions of experience -- be it directly or mediated through ins...
Linear constraint systems (LCS) provide a compact algebraic language for nonlocal games and state-independent contextuality. In the binary case the Mermin--Peres square shows that inconsistent LCS can be solved by promoting variables to local Pauli operators, whereas a series of no-go results excludes analogous Pauli-,...
Observables in quantum mechanics are generally complementary, that is, they reveal mutually incompatible pieces of information about a given system. This property is not only a fundamental tenet of the quantum formalism, but also a key component in quantum cryptographic protocols. As such it has fuelled much research i...

The $n$-qubit Pauli group is an essential ingredient to most quantum applications, from computing and error correction to benchmarking and simulation. Despite comprising merely a discrete set of operators, it exhibits many quintessential features of quantum theory, including contextuality, which has been identified as...
We present a family of quadratics in Pauli expectation values, and prove that they constitute state-independent invariants for all n-qubit pure states. This family generalises the two-qubit `pentagon identities', discovered in the reconstruction programme of [P. A. H\"ohn, Quantum 1, 38 (2017), P. A. H\"ohn and C. S. P...
