• Abstract: We show that a Kirkwood-Dirac type quasiprobability distribution is sufficient to reveal any arbitrary quantum resource. This is achieved by demonstrating that it is always possible to identify a set of incompatible measurements that distinguishes between resourceful states and nonresourceful states. The quasiprobability reveals a resourceful quantum state by having at least one quasiprobabilty outcome with a strictly negative numerical value. We also show that there always exists a quasiprobabilty distribution where the total negativity can be interpreted as the geometric distance between a resourceful quantum state to the closest nonresourceful state. It can also be shown that Kirkwood-Dirac type quasiprobability distributions, like the Wigner distribution, can be made informationally complete, in the sense that it can provide complete information about the quantum state while simultaneously revealing nonclassicality whenever a quasiprobability outcome is negative. Moreover, we demonstrate the existence of sufficiently strong anomalous weak values whenever the quasiprobability distribution is negative, which suggests a means to experimentally test such quasiprobability distributions. Since incompatible measurements are necessary in order for the quasiprobability to be negative, this result suggests that measurement incompatibility may underlie any quantum advantage gained from utilizing a nonclassical quantum resource

  Kolmogorovian Censorship stipulates that quantum probabilities can be identified with classical, Kolmogorovian probabilities. In a loophole-free Bell test, the remote random choices of measurements have the purpose to prevent this matching. We argue that predictive incompleteness is the correct quantum way to understand the violation of Bell's inequalities.

• Stochastic approximate state conversion for entanglement and general quantum resource theories [41.94295877935867]
  An important problem in any quantum resource theory is to determine how quantum states can be converted into each other. Very few results have been presented on the intermediate regime between probabilistic and approximate transformations. We show that these bounds imply an upper bound on the rates for various classes of states under probabilistic transformations. We also show that the deterministic version of the single copy bounds can be applied for drawing limitations on the manipulation of quantum channels.
