A theorem of L\"{u}ders states that an ideal measurement of a sharp discrete observable does not alter the statistics of another sharp observable if, and only if, the two observables commute. It will be shown that this statement extends to…
It is shown that a fixed point of a completely positive map on a semi-finite von Neumann algebra must commute with the operators determining the map (the Lueders phenomenon) if the element is finite or has finite square.
We address the problem of quantum nonlocality with positive operator valued measures (POVM) in the context of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen quantum steering. We show that, given a candidate for local hidden state (LHS) ensemble, the problem of…
Noncommutativity of states and observables is a fundamental signature of quantum theory, and a minimal requirement for nonclassicality. We provide a universal necessary and sufficient condition for pairwise commutativity of quantum states…
We consider group-covariant positive operator valued measures (POVMs) on a finite dimensional quantum system. Following Neumark's theorem a POVM can be implemented by an orthogonal measurement on a larger system. Accordingly, our goal is to…
Noether's theorem links the symmetries of a quantum system with its conserved quantities, and is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. Here we prove a version of Noether's theorem for Markov processes. In quantum mechanics, an observable…
It is shown that the joint measurements of some physical variables corresponding to commuting operators performed on pre- and post-selected quantum systems invariably disturb each other. The significance of this result for recent proofs of…
We characterize the asymptotic performance of a class of positive operator valued measurements (POVMs) where the only task is to make measurements on independent and identically distributed quantum states on finite-dimensional systems. The…
Quantum operations are used to describe the observed probability distributions and conditional states of the measured system. In this paper, we address the problem of their joint measurability (coexistence). We derive two equivalent…
Given a topological group $G$ and a unitary representation $U$ of $G$, we consider the problem of classifying the positive operator measures which are based on a $G$-homogeneous space $X$ and covariant with respect to the representation…
In operator algebra theory, a conditional expectation is usually assumed to be a projection map onto a sub-algebra. In the paper, a further type of conditional expectation and an extension of the Lueders - von Neumann measurement to…
We consider pairs of quantum observables (POVMs) and analyze the relation between the notions of non-disturbance, joint measurability and commutativity. We specify conditions under which these properties coincide or differ---depending for…
The Lueders postulate is reviewed and implications for the distinguishability of observables are discussed. As an example the distinguishability of two similar observables for spin-1/2 particles is described. Implementation issues are…
A system of $N$ non-canonical dynamically free 3D harmonic oscillators is studied. The position and the momentum operators (PM-operators) of the system do not satisfy the canonical commutation relations (CCRs). Instead they obey the weaker…
For a pair of observables, they are called "incompatible", if and only if the commutator between them does not vanish, which represents one of the key features in quantum mechanics. The question is, how can we characterize the…
We describe a technique for self consistently characterizing both the quantum state of a single qubit system, and the positive-operator-valued measure (POVM) that describes measurements on the system. The method works with only ten…
A Positive Operator Valued Measure (POVM) is a map $F:\mathcal{B}(X)\to\mathcal{L}_s^+(\mathcal{H})$ from the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of a topological space $X$ to the space of positive self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space…
We consider a protocol to perform the optimal quantum state discrimination of $N$ linearly independent non-orthogonal pure quantum states and present a computational code. Through the extension of the original Hilbert space, it is possible…
Quantum coherence is a fundamental feature of quantum physics and plays a significant role in quantum information processing. By generalizing the resource theory of coherence from von Neumann measurements to positive operator-valued…
For commuting linear operators $P_0,P_1,..., P_\ell$ we describe a range of conditions which are weaker than invertibility. When any of these conditions hold we may study the composition $P=P_0P_1... P_\ell$ in terms of the component…
