• Abstract: The incompatibility of quantum measurements is a fundamental feature of quantum mechanics with profound implications for uncertainty relations and quantum information processing. In this paper, we extend the notion of {\em $s$-order incompatibility} of measurements, introduced by Xu (inspired by De Bi\`evre's ``complete incompatibility" ), to more general rank-one POVMs, and establish novel uncertainty relations. Furthermore, we investigate the incompatibility of multiple POVMs and its connection to support uncertainty relations. These results may have applications in quantum cryptography, quantum state reconstruction, and quantum compressed sensing.

  We introduce the Q-information: an information-theoretic measure capable of distinguishing quantum states dominated by synergy or redundancy. We show that quantum systems need at least four variables to exhibit high-order properties. Overall, the Q-information sheds light on novel aspects of the internal organisation of quantum systems and their time evolution.

  Quantum incompatibility is the phenomenon that some quantum measurements cannot be performed simultaneously. We propose a modified quantum state discrimination protocol that decomposes complex compatibility structures into pairwise ones. We experimentally demonstrate our results and connect them with quantum steering, quantum simulability and quantum communications.

• 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.

• Disturbance Enhanced Uncertainty Relations [2.075038010521211]
  We show that disturbance of one measurement to a subsequent measurement sets lower-bounds to uncertainty. The obtained relations, referred to as disturbance enhanced uncertainty relations, immediately find various applications in the field of quantum information. We anticipate that this new twist on uncertainty principle may shed new light on quantum foundations and may also inspire further applications in the field of quantum information.

We derive a measurement-incompatibility quantifier that is easily computable, admits a geometrical interpretation, and is maximum only if the eigenbases of the involved observables are mutually unbiased.
