On Measures and Measurements: a Fibre Bundle approach to Contextuality
Contextuality is the failure of "local" probabilistic models to become global
ones. In this paper we introduce the notions of \emph{measurable fibre
bundles}, \emph{probability fibre bundles}, and \emph{sample fibre bundle}
which capture and make precise the former statement. The central notions of
contextuality are discussed under this formalism, examples worked out, and some
new aspects pointed out.Comment: 14 pages; no figures; Purdue-Winer Memorial Lectures 2018; submitted

How to Extract Entanglement from a Piece of Solid or a Bunch of Neutrons
We review how to obtain spin entangled pairs of fermions from a Fermi gas. An
experiment with neutrons is proposed in order to get such pairs.Comment: Prepared for the Proceedings of Central European Workshop on Quantum

The exclusivity principle forbids sets of correlations larger than the quantum set
We show that the exclusivity (E) principle singles out the set of quantum
correlations associated to any exclusivity graph assuming the set of quantum
correlations for the complementary graph. Moreover, we prove that, for
self-complementary graphs, the E principle, by itself (i.e., without further
assumptions), excludes any set of correlations strictly larger than the quantum
set. Finally, we prove that, for vertex-transitive graphs, the E principle
singles out the maximum value for the quantum correlations assuming only the
quantum maximum for the complementary graph. This opens the door for testing
the impossibility of higher-than-quantum correlations in experiments.Comment: REVTeX4, 4 pages, one new result (Result 2) and two new authors,
