All measurements in a probabilistic theory are compatible if and only if the state space is a simplex

Understand

We study the compatibility of measurements on finite-dimensional compact convex state space in the framework of general probabilistic theory.

• Our main emphasis is on formulation of necessary and sufficient conditions for two-outcome measurements to be compatible and we use these conditions to show that there exist incompatible measurements whenever the state space is not a simplex.
• We also formulate the linear programming problem for the compatibility of two-outcome measurements.
