The contextual fraction as a measure of contextuality

Understand

We consider the contextual fraction as a quantitative measure of contextuality of empirical models, i.e.

• tables of probabilities of measurement outcomes in an experimental scenario.
• It provides a general way to compare the degree of contextuality across measurement scenarios; it bears a precise relationship to violations of Bell inequalities; its value, and a witnessing inequality, can be computed using linear programming; it is monotone with respect to the "free" operations of a resource theory for contextuality; and it measures quantifiable advantages in informatic tasks, such as games and a form of measurement based quantum computing.
