• Abstract: Preparation and measurement of physical systems are the operational building blocks of any physical experiment, and to describe them is the first purpose of any physical theory. It is remarkable that, in some situations, even when only preparation and measurement devices of a single system are present and they are uncharacterized, it is possible to distinguish between the behaviours of quantum and classical systems relying only on observational data. Certifying the physical origin of measurement statistics in the prepare and measure scenario is of primal importance for developing quantum networks, distributing quantum keys and certifying randomness, to mention a few applications, but, surprisingly, no general methods to do so are known. We progress on this problem by crafting a general, sufficient condition to certify that a given set of preparations can only generate classical statistics, for any number of generalized measurements. As an application, we employ the method to demonstrate non-classicality activation in the prepare and measure scenario, also considering its application in random access codes. Following that, we adapt our method to certify, again through a sufficient condition, whether a given set of measurements can never give rise to non-classical behaviors, irrespective of what preparations they may act upon. This, in turn, allows us to find a large set of incompatible measurements that cannot be used to demonstrate non-classicality, thus showing incompatibility is not sufficient for non-classicality in the prepare and measure scenario.

  We study the identification of quantum phases of matter, at zero temperature, when only part of the phase diagram is known in advance. We show how to use our previous knowledge to construct an observable capable of classifying the phase even in the unknown region. An important application of our findings is the classification of the phases of matter obtained in quantum simulators.

  We consider the problem of certifying measurement incompatibility in a prepare-and-measure (PM) scenario. We present different families of sets of qubit measurements which are incompatible, but cannot lead to any quantum over classical advantage. Our examples are obtained via a general theorem which proves a set of qubit dichotomic measurements can have their incompatibility certified in a PM scenario.

• Classical Invasive Description of Informationally-Complete Quantum Processes [0.0]
  In classical theory, the joint probability distributions of a process obey by definition the Kolmogorov consistency conditions. Here, we derive conditions that characterize uniquely classical processes that are probed by a reasonable class of invasive measurements. We then analyse under what circumstances such classical processes can simulate the statistics arising from quantum processes associated with informationally-complete measurements.

  We study the phenomenon of self-testing from the first principles, aiming to place this versatile concept on a rigorous mathematical footing. We identify a quantum correlation which is a self-test only if certain assumptions are made. Remarkably, this is also the first example of a correlation that cannot be implemented using projective measurements on a bipartite state of full Schmidt rank.

In an anticipative quantum measurement the combination of the results from classical and quantum computations happens only in the end.
