• Abstract: Measurements in quantum theory exhibit incompatibility, i.e., they can fail to be jointly measurable. An intuitive way to represent the (in)compatibility relations among a set of measurements is via a hypergraph representing their joint measurability structure: its vertices represent measurements and its hyperedges represent (all and only) subsets of compatible measurements. Projective measurements in quantum theory realize (all and only) joint measurability structures that are graphs. On the other hand, general measurements represented by positive operator-valued measures (POVMs) can realize arbitrary joint measurability structures. Here we explore the scope of joint measurability structures realizable with qubit POVMs. We develop a technique that we term marginal surgery to obtain nontrivial joint measurability structures starting from a set of compatible measurements. We show explicit examples of marginal surgery on a special set of qubit POVMs to construct joint measurability structures such as $N$-cycle and $N$-Specker scenarios for any integer $N\geq 3$. We also show the realizability of various joint measurability structures with $N\in\{4,5,6\}$ vertices. In particular, we show that all possible joint measurability structures with $N=4$ vertices are realizable. We conjecture that all joint measurability structures are realizable with qubit POVMs. This contrasts with the unbounded dimension required in R. Kunjwal et al., Phys. Rev. A 89, 052126 (2014). Our results also render this previous construction maximally efficient in terms of the required Hilbert space dimension. We also obtain a sufficient condition for the joint measurability of any set of binary qubit POVMs which powers many of our results and should be of independent interest.

• Identifying General Mechanism Shifts in Linear Causal Representations [58.6238439611389]
  We consider the linear causal representation learning setting where we observe a linear mixing of $d$ unknown latent factors. Recent work has shown that it is possible to recover the latent factors as well as the underlying structural causal model over them. We provide a surprising identifiability result that it is indeed possible, under some very mild standard assumptions, to identify the set of shifted nodes.

  We explore criteria on the local tensors for enabling deterministic state preparation via a single round of measurements. We use these criteria to construct families of measurement-preparable states in one and two dimensions. Our protocol even allows one to engineer preparable quantum states with a range of desired correlation lengths and entanglement properties.

• The signaling dimension in generalized probabilistic theories [48.99818550820575]
  The signaling dimension of a given physical system quantifies the minimum dimension of a classical system required to reproduce all input/output correlations of the given system. We show that it suffices to consider extremal measurements with rayextremal effects, and we bound the number of elements of any such measurement in terms of the linear dimension. For systems with a finite number of extremal effects, we recast the problem of characterizing the extremal measurements with ray-extremal effects.

  Multi-modal trajectory forecasting methods evaluate using single-agent metrics (marginal metrics) Only focusing on marginal metrics can lead to unnatural predictions, such as colliding trajectories or diverging trajectories for people who are clearly walking together as a group. We present the first comprehensive evaluation of state-of-the-art trajectory forecasting methods with respect to multi-agent metrics (joint metrics): JADE, JFDE, and collision rate.

  It is paramount to have practical measurement strategies that can estimate incompatible parameters with best precisions possible. Here, we give a concrete way to find uncorrelated measurement strategies with optimal precisions. We show numerically that there is a strict gap between the previous efficiently computable bounds and the ultimate precision bound.
