Quantum supermaps are a higher-order generalization of quantum maps, taking quantum maps to quantum maps. It is known that any completely positive, trace non-increasing (CPTNI) map can be performed as part of a quantum measurement. By providing an explicit counterexample we show that, instead, not every quantum supermap sending a quantum channel to a CPTNI map can be realized in a measurement on quantum channels. We find that the supermaps that can be implemented in this way are exactly those transforming quantum channels into CPTNI maps even when tensored with the identity supermap. We link this result to the fact that the principle of causality fails in the theory of quantum supermaps.

We solve the problem of whether a set of quantum tests reveals state-independent contextuality and use this result to identify the simplest set of the minimal dimension. We also show that identifying state-independent contextuality graphs [R. Ramanat han and P. Horodecki, Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 040404 (2014)] is not sufficient for revealing state-independent contextuality.
Computation Tree Logic (CTL) is one of the central formalisms in formal verification. As a specification language, it is used to express a property that the system at hand is expected to satisfy. From both the verification and the system design point s of view, some information content of such property might become irrelevant for the system due to various reasons, e.g., it might become obsolete by time, or perhaps infeasible due to practical difficulties. Then, the problem arises on how to subtract such piece of information without altering the relevant system behaviour or violating the existing specifications over a given signature. Moreover, in such a scenario, two crucial notions are informative: the strongest necessary condition (SNC) and the weakest sufficient condition (WSC) of a given property. To address such a scenario in a principled way, we introduce a forgetting-based approach in CTL and show that it can be used to compute SNC and WSC of a property under a given model and over a given signature. We study its theoretical properties and also show that our notion of forgetting satisfies existing essential postulates of knowledge forgetting. Furthermore, we analyse the computational complexity of some basic reasoning tasks for the fragment CTL_AF in particular.
In order to analyze joint measurability of given measurements, we introduce a Hermitian operator-valued measure, called $W$-measure, such that it has marginals of positive operator-valued measures (POVMs). We prove that ${W}$-measure is a POVM {em if and only if} its marginal POVMs are jointly measurable. The proof suggests to employ the negatives of ${W}$-measure as an indicator for non-joint measurability. By applying triangle inequalities to the negativity, we derive joint measurability criteria for dichotomic and trichotomic variables. Also, we propose an operational test for the joint measurability in sequential measurement scenario.

Two long standing open problems in quantum theory are to characterize the class of initial system-bath states for which quantum dynamics is equivalent to (1) a map between the initial and final system states, and (2) a completely positive (CP) map. T he CP map problem is especially important, due to the widespread use of such maps in quantum information processing and open quantum systems theory. Here we settle both these questions by showing that the answer to the first is all, with the resulting map being Hermitian, and that the answer to the second is that CP maps arise exclusively from the class of separable states with vanishing quantum discord.
We formulate explicitly the necessary and sufficient conditions for the local invertibility of a field transformation involving derivative terms. Our approach is to apply the method of characteristics of differential equations, by treating such a tra nsformation as differential equations that give new variables in terms of original ones. The obtained results generalise the well-known and widely used inverse function theorem. Taking into account that field transformations are ubiquitous in modern physics and mathematics, our criteria for invertibility will find many useful applications.
