Abstract: We deal with a graph colouring problem that arises in quantum information theory. Alice and Bob are each given a pm1-vector of length k, and are to respond with k bits. Their responses must be equal if they are given equal inputs, and distinct if they are given orthogonal inputs; however, they are not allowed to communicate any information about their inputs. They can always succeed using quantum entanglement, but their ability to succeed using only classical physics is equivalent to a graph colouring problem. We resolve the graph colouring problem, thus determining that they can succeed without entanglement exactly when kleq3.
