• Abstract: This article considers quantum systems described by a finite-dimensional complex Hilbert space $H$. We first define the concept of a finite observable on $H$. We then discuss ways of combining observables in terms of convex combinations, post-processing and sequential products. We also define complementary and coexistent observables. We then introduce finite instruments and their related compatible observables. The previous combinations and relations for observables are extended to instruments and their properties are compared. We present four types of instruments; namely, identity, trivial, L\"uders and Kraus instruments. These types are used to illustrate different ways that instruments can act. We next consider joint probabilities for observables and instruments. The article concludes with a discussion of measurement models and the instruments they measure.

  The non-Hermitian paradigm of quantum systems displays salient features drastically different from Hermitian counterparts. We propose a formalism that quantifies the (dis-)similarity of these right and left ensembles, for single- as well as many-particle quantum properties. Our findings can be instrumental in unveiling new exotic quantum phases of non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems.

  Local quantum measurements do not simply disentangle degrees of freedom, but may actually strengthen the entanglement in the system. This paper explores how a finite density of local measurement modifies a given state's entanglement structure.

• A Theory of Quantum Instruments [0.0]
  Until recently, a quantum instrument was defined to be a completely positive operation-valued measure from the set of states on a Hilbert space to itself. In the last few years, this definition has been generalized to such measures between sets of states from different Hilbert spaces called the input and output Hilbert spaces.

  We show that although a dual instruments measures a unique observable, it determines many sub-observables. Sub-observable effect algebras are characterized and studied. The sequential product of instruments is discussed.

  We observe partial and infinite-temperature thermalization on a quantum superconducting processor. We show that the convergence does not tend to a completely mixed (infinite-temperature) state, but to a block-diagonal state in the observable basis.

• Mutually Unbiased Quantum Observables [0.0]
  We define mutually unbiased (MU) observables on a finite dimensional Hilbert space. Relationships between MU observables, value-complementary observables and two other conditions involving sequential products of observables are discussed. finite position and momentum observables are employed to give examples of parts of MU observables that are value-complementary and those that are not.

• Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.

  We aim to shed some light on the quantum-to-classical transition as seen through the analysis of uncertainty relations. We employ entropic uncertainty relations to show that it is only by the inclusion of imprecision in our model of macroscopic measurements that we can prepare a system with two simultaneously well-defined quantities.

• Probing chiral edge dynamics and bulk topology of a synthetic Hall system [52.77024349608834]
  Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
