Add to ORKGElaborating on a previous work by Simon et al. (PRL 85, 1783 (2000)) we propose a realizable quantum optical single-photon experiment using standard present day technology, capable of discriminating maximally between the predictions of quantum mechanics (QM) and noncontextual hidden variable theories (NCHV). Quantum mechanics predicts a gross violation (up to a factor of 2) of the noncontextual Bell-like inequality associated with the proposed experiment. This inequality can be used to experimentally demonstrate (modulo fair sampling) an all-or-nothing--type contradiction between QM and NCHV
