• Abstract: The number of outcomes is a defining property of a quantum measurement, in particular, if the measurement cannot be decomposed into simpler measurements with fewer outcomes. Importantly, the number of outcomes of a quantum measurement can be irreducibly higher than the dimension of the system. The certification of this property is possible in a semi-device-independent way either based on a Bell-like scenario or by utilizing the simpler prepare-and-measure scenario. Here we show that in the latter scenario the minimal scheme for a certifying an irreducible three-outcome qubit measurement requires three state preparations and only two measurements and we provide experimentally feasible examples for this minimal certification scheme. We also discuss the dimension assumption characteristic to the semi-device-independent approach and to which extend it can be mitigated.

  We provide a construction of a family of steering inequalities tailored to large classes of $d$-outcomes projective measurements. We prove that the maximal quantum violation of those inequalities can be used for certification of those measurements and the maximally entangled state of two qudits.

  Self-testing is a promising approach to certifying quantum states or measurements. We show how to self-test any four- (three-) outcome extremal positive operator-valued measure using a linear witness. One of our constructions achieves self-testing of any number of states with the help of as many projective measurements.

  We introduce a single scheme allowing to certify three different types of composite projective measurements acting on a three-qubit Hilbert space. We certify a basis exhibiting NLWE in the smallest dimension capable of supporting this phenomenon. On the other hand, the possibility of certification of a measurement obtained from a UPB has an interesting implication.

  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.
