We study the compatibility (or joint measurability) of quantum observables in a setting where the experimenter has access to multiple copies of a given quantum system, rather than performing the experiments on each individual copy…

Convex polytopes are convex hulls of point sets in the $n$-dimensional space $\E^n$ that generalize 2-dimensional convex polygons and 3-dimensional convex polyhedra. We concentrate on the class of $n$-dimensional polytopes in $\E^n$ called…

We introduce the notion of compatibility dimension for a set of quantum measurements: it is the largest dimension of a Hilbert space on which the given measurements are compatible. In the Schr\"odinger picture, this notion corresponds to…
