Is is shown here that the simple test of quantumness for a single system of arXiv:0704.1962 (for a recent experimental realization see arXiv:0804.1646) has exactly the same relation to the discussion of to the problem of describing the quantum system via a classical probabilistic scheme (that is in terms of hidden variables, or within a realistic theory) as the von Neumann theorem (1932). The latter one was shown by Bell (1966) to stem from an assumption that the hidden variable values for a sum of two non-commuting observables (which is an observable too) have to be, for each individual system, equal to sums of eigenvalues of the two operators. One cannot find a physical justification for such an assumption to hold for non-commeasurable variables. On the positive side. the criterion may be useful in rejecting models which are based on stochastic classical fields. Nevertheless the example used by the Authors has a classical optical realization.

Given $n times n$ real symmetric matrices $A_1, dots, A_m$, the following {it spectral minimax} property holds: $$min_{X in mathbf{Delta}_n} max_{y in S_m} sum_{i=1}^m y_iA_i bullet X=max_{y in S_m} min_{X in mathbf{Delta}_n} sum_{i=1}^m y_iA_i bulle
t X,$$ where $S_m$ is the simplex and $mathbf{Delta}_n$ the spectraplex. For diagonal $A_i$s this reduces to the classic minimax.
We describe how to obtain information on a quantum-mechanical system by coupling it to a probe and detecting some property of the latter, using a model introduced by von Neumann, which describes the interaction of the system proper with the probe in
a dynamical way. We first discuss single measurements, where the system proper is coupled to one probe with arbitrary coupling strength. The goal is to obtain information on the system detecting the probe position. We find the reduced density operator of the system, and show how Luders rule emerges as the limiting case of strong coupling. The von Neumann model is then generalized to two probes that interact successively with the system proper. Now we find information on the system by detecting the position-position and momentum-position correlations of the two probes. The so-called Wigners formula emerges in the strong-coupling limit, while Kirkwoods quasi-probability distribution is found as the weak-coupling limit of the above formalism. We show that successive measurements can be used to develop a state-reconstruction scheme. Finally, we find a generalized transform of the state and the observables based on the notion of successive measurements.
Local operations with classical communication (LOCC) and separable operations are two classes of quantum operations that play key roles in the study of quantum entanglement. Separable operations are strictly more powerful than LOCC, but no simple exp
lanation of this phenomenon is known. We show that, in the case of von Neumann measurements, the ability to interpolate measurements is an operational principle that sets apart LOCC and separable operations.
Generalized Bargmann representations which are based on generalized coherent states are considered. The growth of the corresponding analytic functions in the complex plane is studied. Results about the overcompleteness or undercompleteness of discret
e sets of these generalized coherent states are given. Several examples are discussed in detail.
Given an ensemble of systems in an unknown state, as well as an observable $hat A$ and a physical apparatus which performs a measurement of $hat A$ on the ensemble, whose detailed working is unknown (black box), how can one test whether the Luders or von Neumann reduction rule applies?
