• Abstract: A universal formulation of uncertainty relations for quantum measurements is presented with additional focus on the representability of quantum observables by classical observables over a given state. Owing to the simplicity and operational tangibility of the framework, the resultant general relations admit natural operational interpretations and characterisations, and are thus also experimentally verifiable. In view of the universal formulation, Heisenberg's philosophy of the uncertainty principle is also revisited; it is reformulated and restated as a refined no-go theorem, albeit perhaps in a weaker form than was originally intended. In fact, the relations entail, in essence as corollaries to their special cases, several previously known relations, including most notably the Arthurs-Kelly-Goodman, Ozawa, and Watanabe-Sagawa-Ueda relations for quantum measurements. The Schr{\"o}dinger relation (hence the standard Kennard-Robertson relation as its trivial corollary as well) is also shown to be a special case when the measurement is non-informative.

  We make a conceptual overview of an approach to the initial-value problem in canonical gauge theories. We stress how the first-class phase-space constraints may be relaxed if we interpret them as fixing the values of new degrees of freedom.

• Measurement incompatibility is strictly stronger than disturbance [44.99833362998488]
  Heisenberg argued that measurements irreversibly alter the state of the system on which they are acting, causing an irreducible disturbance on subsequent measurements. This article shows that measurement incompatibility is indeed a sufficient condition for irreversibility of measurement disturbance. However, we exhibit a toy theory, termed the minimal classical theory (MCT), that is a counterexample for the converse implication.

  We argue in favour of taking Kolmogorov's measure-theoretic axiomatisation of probability as the starting point towards an axiomatisation of causality. Our proposed framework is rigorously grounded in measure theory, but it also sheds light on long-standing limitations of existing frameworks.

• What is nonclassical about uncertainty relations? [0.0]
  Uncertainty relations express limits on the extent to which the outcomes of distinct measurements on a single state can be made jointly predictable. We show that for a class of theories satisfying a particular symmetry property, the functional form of this predictability tradeoff is constrained by noncontextuality to be below a linear curve.

  Three notions are often assumed to be essentially equivalent, representing different facets of the same phenomenon. We analyze them in general Friedmann-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker space-times through the lens of geometric structures on the classical phase space. The analysis shows that: (i) inflation does not play an essential role; classical behavior can emerge much more generally; (ii) the three notions are conceptually distinct; classicality can emerge in one sense but not in another.
