It is well known that jointly measurable observables cannot lead to a violation of any Bell inequality - independent of the state and the measurements chosen at the other site. In this letter we prove the converse: every pair of incompatible quantum
observables enables the violation of a Bell inequality and therefore must remain incompatible within any other no-signaling theory. While in the case of von Neumann measurements it is sufficient to use the same pair of observables at both sites, general measurements can require different choices. The main result is obtained by showing that for arbitrary dimension the CHSH inequality provides the Lagrangian dual of the characterization of joint measurability. This leads to a simple criterion for joint measurability beyond the known qubit case.
We formulate a new error-disturbance relation, which is free from explicit dependence upon variances in observables. This error-disturbance relation shows improvement over the one provided by the Branciard inequality and the Ozawa inequality for some
initial states and for particular class of joint measurements under consideration. We also prove a modified form of Ozawas error-disturbance relation. The later relation provides a tighter bound compared to the Ozawa and the Branciard inequalities for a small number of states.
We propose a quantum harmonic oscillator measurement engine fueled by simultaneous quantum measurements of the non-commuting position and momentum quadratures of the quantum oscillator. The engine extracts work by moving the harmonic trap suddenly, c
onditioned on the measurement outcomes. We present two protocols for work extraction, respectively based on single-shot and time-continuous quantum measurements. In the single-shot limit, the oscillator is measured in a coherent state basis; the measurement adds an average of one quantum of energy to the oscillator, which is then extracted in the feedback step. In the time-continuous limit, continuous weak quantum measurements of both position and momentum of the quantum oscillator result in a coherent state, whose coordinates diffuse in time. We relate the extractable work to the noise added by quadrature measurements, and present exact results for the work distribution at arbitrary finite time. Both protocols can achieve unit work conversion efficiency in principle.
Measuring the fluctuations of work in coherent quantum systems is notoriously problematic. Aiming to reveal the ultimate source of these problems, we demand of work measurement schemes the sheer minimum and see if those demands can be met at all. We
require ($mathfrak{A}$) energy conservation for arbitrary initial states of the system and ($mathfrak{B}$) the Jarzynski equality for thermal initial states. By energy conservation we mean that the average work must be equal to the difference of initial and final average energies, and that untouched systems must exchange deterministically zero work. Requirement $mathfrak{B}$ encapsulates the second law of thermodynamics and the quantum--classical correspondence principle. We prove that work measurement schemes that do not depend on the systems initial state satisfy $mathfrak{B}$ if and only if they coincide with the famous two-point measurement scheme, thereby establishing that state-independent schemes cannot simultaneously satisfy $mathfrak{A}$ and $mathfrak{B}$. Expanding to the realm of state-dependent schemes allows for more compatibility between $mathfrak{A}$ and $mathfrak{B}$. However, merely requiring the state-dependence to be continuous still effectively excludes the coexistence of $mathfrak{A}$ and $mathfrak{B}$, leaving the theoretical possibility open for only a narrow class of exotic schemes.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Quantum Mechanics is the impossibility of measuring at the same time observables corresponding to non-commuting operators. This impossibility can be partially relaxed when considering joint or sequential weak val
ues evaluation. Indeed, weak measurements have been a real breakthrough in the quantum measurement framework that is of the utmost interest from both a fundamental and an applicative point of view. Here we show how we realized, for the first time, a sequential weak value evaluation of two incompatible observables on a single photon.
