Simultaneous observation of quantum contextuality and quantum nonlocality

Quantum nonlocality and quantum contextuality are the most curious properties that change our understanding of nature, and were observed independently in recent decades. One important question is whether both properties can be observed simultaneously. In this paper, we show that in a qutrit-qutrit system we can observe quantum nonlocality and quantum contextuality at the same time. From the perspective of quantum information, our experiment proves in principle that the two resources, quantum nonlocality and quantum contextuality, can be utilized simultaneously.
