Compatibility properties of extreme quantum observables

Understand

Recently a problem concerning the equivalence of joint measurability and coexistence of quantum observables was solved [15].

• In this paper we generalize two known joint measurability results from sharp observables to the class of extreme observables and study relationships between coexistence, joint measurability, and post-processing of quantum observables when an extreme observable is involved.
• We also discuss another notion of compatibility and provide a counterexample separating this from the former notions.
