Quantum theory realizes all joint measurability graphs

Quantum theory realizes all joint measurability graphs

Joint measurability of sharp quantum observables is determined pairwise, and so can be captured in a graph. We prove the converse: any graph whose vertices represent sharp observables and whose edges represent joint measurability is realized by quantum theory. This leads us to show that it is not always possible …
