• Abstract: We consider the question of characterising the incompatibility of sets of high-dimensional quantum measurements. We introduce the concept of measurement incompatibility in subspaces. That is, starting from a set of measurements that is incompatible, one considers the set of measurements obtained by projection onto any strict subspace of fixed dimension. We identify three possible forms of incompatibility in subspaces: (i) incompressible incompatibility: measurements that become compatible in every subspace, (ii) fully compressible incompatibility: measurements that remain incompatible in every subspace, and (iii) partly compressible incompatibility: measurements that are compatible in some subspace and incompatible in another. For each class we discuss explicit examples. Finally, we present some applications of these ideas. First we show that joint measurability and coexistence are two inequivalent notions of incompatibility in the simplest case of qubit systems. Second we highlight the implications of our results for tests of quantum steering.

  We show that the violation of the Collins-Gisin-Linden-Massar-Popescu (CGLMP) inequality responds non-monotonically with the amount of incompatibility. Unlike in the CHSH case, the maximally violating state in higher dimensions depends on the amount of measurement incompatibility.

• 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.

• Distributed quantum incompatibility [0.0]
  We show that the incompatibility which is gained via additional measurements is upper and lower bounded by certain functions of the incompatibility of subsets of the available measurements. We discuss the consequences of our results for the nonlocality that can be gained by enlarging the number of measurements in a Bell experiment.

  Entanglement -- the coherent correlations between parties in a quantum system -- is well-understood and quantifiable. Despite the utility of such systems, methods for quantifying high-dimensional entanglement are more limited and experimentally challenging. We present a novel certification method whose measurement requirements scale linearly with dimension subsystem.

  Incompatible measurements are an important distinction between quantum mechanics and classical theories. We explore a family of incompatibility measures based on non-commutativity. We show that they satisfy some natural information-processing requirements. We also consider the behavior of our measures under different types of compositions.
