• Abstract: We define nonlocal predictability as how well one observer can predict another's measurement outcomes without classical communication, given full knowledge of the shared quantum state and measurement settings. The local bound on nonlocal predictability is defined as the maximum probability with which one observer can correctly predict the other's measurement outcome prior to measurement. We show that product states always meet this bound, while all pure entangled states and some classically correlated states can exceed it. This demonstrates a nonlocal phenomenon since the predictability of measurement outcomes increases after the measurement. Perfect nonlocal predictability for arbitrary projective measurements occurs only for maximally entangled states among all pure states, underscoring their special role. Comparing pure entangled states with their dephased versions, we find that dephasing on one subsystem can enhance nonlocal predictability for a broad class of states and measurements - a counterintuitive, noise-induced advantage that vanishes for maximally entangled states under any projective measurement.

  The presence of Bell-nonlocality in the correlations arising from measuring spatially-separated systems guarantees that the sets of measurements used are necessarily incompatible.<n>Not all sets of incompatible measurements can however lead to Bell-nonlocality, as there exist incompatible sets of measurements which can only produce local correlations.<n>We prove that all sets of incompatible measurements are nevertheless able to generate nonlocality in an extended Bell scenario where quantum, instead of classical, measurement inputs are considered.

• Sharing Bell nonlocality of bipartite high-dimensional pure states using only projective measurements [15.304146645863584]
  Bell nonlocality is the key quantum resource in some device-independent quantum information processing. Unsharp measurements are widely used in sharing the nonlocality of an entangled state among several sequential observers. We show that projective measurements are sufficient for sharing the Bell nonlocality of arbitrary high-dimensional pure bipartite states.

• 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.

• Quantifying the intrinsic randomness of quantum measurements [0.0]
  Intrinsic quantum randomness is produced when a projective measurement on a given basis is implemented on a pure state that is not an element of the basis. We show that, unlike the case of projective measurements, in the setting of generalized measurements and mixed states, Eve's guessing probability differs depending on whether she can prepare classically or quantumly correlated strategies.

  Heisenberg's uncertainty relation says there is an ultimate limit to how precisely we may predict the outcome of position and momentum measurements on a quantum system.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
