• 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.

  We show that almost all minimal theories with conditioning satisfy two quantum no-go theorems. As a relevant example, we construct a minimal toy-theory with conditioning where all systems are classical.

• 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.

  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.

• Contextuality without incompatibility [0.7421845364041001]
  We show that measurement incompatibility is neither necessary nor sufficient for proofs of the failure of generalized noncontextuality. We show that every proof of the failure of generalized noncontextuality in a quantum prepare-measure scenario can be converted into a proof of the failure of generalized noncontextuality in a corresponding scenario with no incompatible measurements.

• Amount of quantum coherence needed for measurement incompatibility [0.0]
  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.

• Fairness Under Feature Exemptions: Counterfactual and Observational Measures [34.5472206536785]
  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.
