• Authors: Arindam Mitra, M\'at\'e Farkas
• Abstract summary: We introduce -- similarly to the case of measurements and channels -- the incompatibility of quantum instruments and derive universal bounds on it. We prove that post-processing of quantum instruments is a free operation for parallel compatibility. We provide families of instruments for which our bounds are tight, and families of compatible indecomposable instruments.

• Abstract: Incompatibility of quantum devices is one of the cornerstones of quantum theory, and the incompatibility of quantum measurements and channels has been linked to quantum advantage in certain information theoretic tasks. In this work, we focus on the less well-explored question of the incompatibility of quantum instruments, that is, devices that describe the measurement process in its entirety, accounting for both the classical measurement outcome and the quantum post-measurement state. In particular, we focus on the recently introduced notion of parallel compatibility of instruments, which has been argued to be a natural notion of instrument compatibility. We introduce -- similarly to the case of measurements and channels -- the incompatibility robustness of quantum instruments and derive universal bounds on it. We then prove that post-processing of quantum instruments is a free operation for parallel compatibility. Last, we provide families of instruments for which our bounds are tight, and families of compatible indecomposable instruments.

We use a duality mapping, to avoid mid-circuit measurement and access different manifestations of the underlying phases. Our work demonstrates an approach to realize measurement-induced physics at scales that are at the limits of current NISQ processors.

• Incompatibility of quantum instruments [0.0]
  Quantum instruments describe outcome probability as well as state change induced by measurement of a quantum system. We derive implications of instrument compatibility for the induced POVMs and channels. We prove equivalence between instrument compatibility and postprocessing of certain instruments, which we term complementary instruments.

  We present an approach where the quantum computation is supplemented by a classical result. Taking advantage of its anticipation also leads to a new type of quantum measurements, which we call anticipative. In an anticipative quantum measurement the combination of the results from classical and quantum computations happens only in the end.

  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.

  In quantum information processing quantum operations are often processed alongside measurements which result in classical data. Non-unitary dynamical processes can take place on the system, for which common quantum channel descriptions fail to describe the time evolution. Quantum measurements are correctly treated by means of so-called quantum instruments capturing both classical outputs and post-measurement quantum states.
