This question motivates two integer valued quantifications of incompatibility, called incompatibility dimension and compatibility dimension. The first one quantifies how many states are minimally needed to detect incompatibility if the test states are chosen carefully, whereas the second one quantifies how many states one may have to use if they are randomly chosen. With concrete examples we show that these quantities have unexpected behaviour with respect to noise.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2021-05-27T05:47:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum devices", "testing incompatibility", "incompatibility dimension", "concrete examples", "question motivates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
