On coexistence and joint measurability of rank-1 quantum observables

  • 1. Department of Physics and Astronomy, Turku Centre for Quantum Physics, University of Turku, FI-20014 Turku (Finland)

Description

We show that a rank-1 quantum observable (POVM) M is jointly measurable with a quantum observable M′ exactly when M′ is a smearing of M. If M is extreme, rank-1 and discrete, then M and M′ are coexistent if and only if they are jointly measurable. (fast track communications)
