Abstract

Recently, the Kochen - Specker theorem has been demonstrated and quantum contextuality has been observed experimentally by using special and independent quantum states. On the other hand, recent investigations have shown that a thermal light source can mimic the two-photon entangled source to perform the imaging effects. We perform an all-or-nothing - type Kochen-Specker experiment using the thermal light source and obtain the same results as those using quantum sources. The physical origin for such a phenomenon is analyzed.
