- Abstract: We investigate two aspects of the elementary example of POVMs on the
Euclidean plane, namely their status as quantum observables and their role as
quantizers in the integral quantization procedure. The compatibility of POVMs
in the ensuing quantum formalism is discussed, and a Naimark dilation is found
for the quantum operators. The relation with Toeplitz quantization is
explained. A physical situation is discussed, where we describe the linear
polarization of the light with the use of Stokes parameters. In particular, the
case of sequential measurements in a real bidimensional Hilbert space is
addressed. An interpretation of the Stokes parameters in the framework of
unsharp or fuzzy observables is given. Finally, a necessary condition for the
compatibility of two dichotomic fuzzy observables which provides a condition
for the approximate joint measurement of two incompatible sharp observables is
found.

The geometric properties of quantum states are encoded by the quantum geometric tensor.
For conventional Hermitian quantum systems, the quantum metric corresponds to the fidelity susceptibility.
We extend this wisdom to the non-Hermitian systems for revealing non-Hermitian critical points.

We review two approaches to the definition of the Hilbert space and evolution in mechanical theories with local time-reparametrization invariance.
We discuss in which sense both approaches exhibit an inner product that is gauge-fixed via an operator version of the usual Faddeev-Popov procedure.
We note that a conditional probability interpretation of the physical states is possible, so that both formalisms are examples of quantum mechanics with a relational dynamics.

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 derive the projection hypothesis in projective quantum measurement by restricting the set of observables.
The key steps in the derivation are the return of the symmetry translation of this quantum coordinate to the inverse translation of the c-number spatial coordinate in quantum field theory.

This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions.
We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain.
We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
