We study two operational approaches to quantifying incompatibility that depart significantly from the well known entropic uncertainty relation (EUR) formalism. Both approaches result in incompatibility measures that yield non-zero values…

The ability to extract general laws from a few known examples depends on the complexity of the problem and on the amount of training data. In the quantum setting, the learner's generalization performance is further challenged by the…

Quantum physics constrains the accuracy of joint measurements of incompatible observables. Here we test tight measurement-uncertainty relations using single photons. We implement two independent, idealized uncertainty-estimation methods,…

Measurements in quantum theory exhibit incompatibility, i.e., they can fail to be jointly measurable. An intuitive way to represent the (in)compatibility relations among a set of measurements is via a hypergraph representing their joint…

The uncertainty principle may be considered as giving rise to the notion of incompatibility of observables. A pack of quantum measurements that cannot be measured simultaneously is said to form a set of incompatible measurements. Every set…

Incompatible quantum channels cannot be jointly and exactly realized, meaning that any approximate joint realization inevitably entails a tradeoff in implementation accuracy. While this notion of channel incompatibility unifies fundamental…

The objectivity is a basic requirement for the measurements in the classical world, namely, different observers must reach a consensus on their measurement results, so that they believe that the object exists "objectively" since whoever…

Quantum metrology promises high-precision measurements beyond the capability of any classical techniques, and has the potential to be integral to investigative techniques. However, all sensors must tolerate imperfections if they are to be…

Determining the measurement uncertainty region is a difficult problem for generic sets of observables. For this reason the literature on exact measurement uncertainty regions is focused on symmetric sets of observables, where the symmetries…
