• Abstract: Non-projective measurements are resourceful in several information-processing protocols. In this work, we propose an operational task involving space-like separated parties to detect measurements that are neither projective nor a classical post-processing of data obtained from a projective measurement. In the case of qubits, we consider a bipartite scenario and different sets of target correlations. While some correlations in each of these sets can be obtained by performing non-projective measurements on some shared two-qubit state it is impossible to simulate correlation in any of them using projective simulable measurements on bipartite qubit states or equivalently one bit of shared randomness. While considering certain sets of target correlations we show that the detection of qubit non-projective measurement is robust under arbitrary depolarising noise (except in the limiting case). For qutrits, while considering a similar task we show that some correlations obtained from local non-projective measurements are impossible to be obtained while performing the same qutrit projective simulable measurements by both parties. We provide numerical evidence of its robustness under arbitrary depolarising noise. For a more generic consideration (bipartite and tripartite scenario), we provide numerical evidence for a projective-simulable bound on the reward function for our task. We also show a violation of this bound by using qutrit POVMs. From a foundational perspective, we extend the notion of non-projective measurements to general probabilistic theories (GPTs) and use a randomness-free test to demonstrate that a class of GPTs, called square-bits or box-world are unphysical.

• Pretty-good simulation of all quantum measurements by projective measurements [0.0]
  In quantum theory general measurements are described by so-called Positive Operator-Valued Measures (POVMs) We show that in $d$-dimensional quantum systems an application of depolarizing noise with constant (independent of $d$) visibility parameter makes any POVM simulable by a randomized implementation of projective measurements. This result significantly limits the advantage that POVMs can offer over projective measurements in various information-processing tasks.

• Distributed, partially collapsed MCMC for Bayesian Nonparametrics [68.5279360794418]
  We exploit the fact that completely random measures, which commonly used models like the Dirichlet process and the beta-Bernoulli process can be expressed as, are decomposable into independent sub-measures. We use this decomposition to partition the latent measure into a finite measure containing only instantiated components, and an infinite measure containing all other components. The resulting hybrid algorithm can be applied to allow scalable inference without sacrificing convergence guarantees.
