• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: In classical stochastic theory, the joint probability distributions of a stochastic process obey by definition the Kolmogorov consistency conditions. Interpreting such a process as a sequence of physical measurements with probabilistic outcomes, these conditions reflect that the measurements do not alter the state of the underlying physical system. Prominently, this assumption has to be abandoned in the context of quantum mechanics, yet there are also classical processes in which measurements influence the measured system. 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 expect that our investigation will help build a bridge between two fundamental traits of non-classicality, namely, coherence and contextuality.

• A short note about the dynamical description of the measurement process in quantum physics [0.0]
  We consider the measured system part of an open system interacting with the measuring device and show under which ideal conditions the measure process may ideally work. Our procedure leads to the conclusion that there is no hope that any experimental procedure will be able to lead to a clean solution of the process, except maybe in very specific cases.

• Objectivity of classical quantum stochastic processes [0.0]
  We investigate what can be concluded about a quantum system when sequential quantum measurements of its observable fulfill the Kolmogorov consistency condition. It can be said that the trajectory interpretation suggested by the Kolmogorov consistent measurements also applies in contexts other than sequential measurements.

• Quantifying the intrinsic randomness of quantum measurements [0.0]
  Intrinsic quantum randomness is produced when a projective measurement on a given basis is implemented on a pure state that is not an element of the basis. We show that, unlike the case of projective measurements, in the setting of generalized measurements and mixed states, Eve's guessing probability differs depending on whether she can prepare classically or quantumly correlated strategies.
