• Abstract: This study proposes a new approach to quantum state recovery following measurement. Specifically, we introduce a special operation that transfers the probability amplitude of the quantum state into its orthogonal complement. This operation is followed by a measurement performed on this orthogonal subspace, enabling the undisturbed original quantum state to be regained. Remarkably, this recovery is achieved without dependence of the post-measurement operation on the measurement outcome, thus allowing the recovery without historical dependence. This constitutes a highly nontrivial phenomenon. From the operational perspective, as the no-cloning theorem forbids perfect and probabilistic cloning of arbitrary quantum states, and traditional post-measurement reversal methods typically rely on operations contingent on the measurement outcomes, it questions fundamental assumptions regarding the necessity of historic dependence. From an informational perspective, since this recovery method erases the information about the measurement outcome, it's intriguing that the information can be erased without accessing the measurement outcome. These results imply the operational and informational non-triviality formulated in a direct-sum Hilbert space framework.

• 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.
