Abstract

Quantum theory describes physical reality in a consistent way. It cannot be replaced by a hidden variables theory. Accordingly, in this study, the criteria for quantumness is discussed. Here the contextuality of the observables is of crucial importance. In this manner, known solutions for quantum mechanical computation and information processing is investigated, and the negative Wigner function criterion is mentioned for new problems and new solutions.
