- Abstract summary: In a bipartite Bell scenario, the measurement incompatibility in one wing is both necessary and sufficient to reveal the nonlocality.
We argue that it is the generalised contextuality that provides a restriction to the allowed degree of measurement incompatibility of any viable theory of nature.

- Abstract: In a bipartite Bell scenario involving two local measurements per party and two outcome per measurement, the measurement incompatibility in one wing is both necessary and sufficient to reveal the nonlocality. However, such a one-to-one correspondence fails when one of the observers performs more than two measurements. In such a scenario, the measurement incompatibility is necessary but not sufficient to reveal the nonlocality. In this work, within the formalism of general probabilistic theory (GPT), we demonstrate that unlike the nonlocality, the incompatibility of N arbitrary measurements in one wing is both necessary and sufficient for revealing the generalised contextuality for the sub-system in the other wing. Further, we formulate a novel form of inequality for any GPT that are necessary for N-wise compatibility of N arbitrary observables. Moreover, we argue that any theory that violates the proposed inequality possess a degree of incompatibility that can be quantified through the amount of violation. Finally, we claim that it is the generalised contextuality that provides a restriction to the allowed degree of measurement incompatibility of any viable theory of nature and thereby super-select the the quantum theory.

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 are able to pinpoint exactly what each notion of incompatibility consists of, in terms of information-theoretic resources.

Horodecki criterion requires suitable projective measurements on two qubit observables.
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for arbitrary qubit measurements having fixed strengths and relative angles for each observer.
We also show that for certain ranges of measurement strengths it is only possible to violate the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality via biased measurements.

A pair of quantum observables diagonal in the same "incoherent" basis can be measured jointly.
We first observe that coherence in a single observable is linked to the diagonal elements of any observable jointly measurable with it, leading to a general criterion for the coherence needed for incompatibility.
We develop a concrete method for solving incompatibility problems, tractable even in large systems by analytical bounds, without resorting to numerical optimisation.

We propose an information-theoretic decomposition of the total disparity into two components.
A non-exempt component quantifies the part that cannot be accounted for by the critical features, and an exempt component quantifies the remaining disparity.
We perform case studies to show how one can audit/train models while reducing non-exempt disparity.
