Classical theories are those without incompatibility

i. Overview

In classical probability every two yes/no questions can be asked at once. In quantum theory they cannot: spin along `x` and spin along `z` have no joint measurement. Compatibility of all pairs of yes/no measurements characterizes classical theories: it holds exactly when the positive functionals form a lattice, that is, when the state space is a Choquet simplex.

When observables have the Riesz decomposition, every two yes/no measurements have a joint measurement. Conversely, compatibility in `E` passes to the bidual of `E`, where increasing families have suprema. There, a maximal decomposition turns compatibility into Riesz decomposition, and the least upper bound of two positive functionals on the bidual restricts to one on `E`. For the other direction, a lattice of positive functionals yields interpolants between observables; when the observables are complete, these give joint effects exactly.

ii. Key results

- `HasRieszDecomposition.exists_isBinaryJointEffect` : Riesz decomposition makes every two yes/no measurements compatible. - `Bidual.exists_effect_near` : effects of `E` approximate effects of the bidual on finitely many positive functionals. - `Bidual.exists_isBinaryJointEffect` : compatibility passes from `E` to its bidual. - `Bidual.hasRieszDecomposition` : compatibility in the bidual gives Riesz decomposition there. - `isClassical_of_jointlyMeasurable` : if every two yes/no measurements are compatible, the positive functionals form a lattice. - `isClassical_iff_jointlyMeasurable` : **Kuramochi's theorem**: on a complete Archimedean order-unit space, the positive functionals form a lattice exactly when every two yes/no measurements are compatible.

theorem

Riesz Decomposition Implies Existence of Binary Joint Effects

Let EE be an ordered additive commutative group with a unit element 11. If EE satisfies the Riesz decomposition property, then for any two effects e,f∈Ee, f \in E (where an effect is an element xx such that 0≤x≤10 \le x \le 1), there exists an element g∈Eg \in E that is a binary joint effect of ee and ff.

theorem

Riesz Decomposition Implies Joint Measurability of Binary Measurements

Let FF be an ordered space that satisfies the Riesz decomposition property. For any two effects ee and ff in FF (that is, elements such that 0≤e≤10 \le e \le 1 and 0≤f≤10 \le f \le 1), the binary measurements (also known as "yes/no" measurements) associated with ee and ff are jointly measurable.

theorem

Nonnegative elements of the bidual are monotone on positive functionals

Let EE be an order-unit space. Let xx be a nonnegative element of the bidual of EE (i.e., x≥0x \ge 0). For any two positive functionals ϕ\phi and ψ\psi on EE, if ϕ≤ψ\phi \le \psi, then x(ϕ)≤x(ψ)x(\phi) \le x(\psi).

theorem

An upper bound of P−NP - N on effects of EE extends to effects of the bidual

Let EE be an order-unit space, and let PP and NN be positive linear functionals on EE. Suppose that for every effect aa in EE (i.e., any element a∈Ea \in E satisfying 0≤a≤10 \le a \le 1), the difference P(a)−N(a)P(a) - N(a) is at most mm for some real number mm. Then, for any effect xx in the bidual space Bidual(E)\text{Bidual}(E) (i.e., any xx satisfying 0≤x≤10 \le x \le 1), the difference between the values of xx applied to PP and NN is also at most mm: x(P)−x(N)≤m.x(P) - x(N) \le m.

theorem

Linear combinations of positive functionals as a difference P−NP - N in EE and its bidual

Let EE be an ordered vector space and E→pRE \to_p \mathbb{R} denote the set of positive linear functionals on EE. Given a finite collection of positive linear functionals {ϕi}i∈I\{\phi_i\}_{i \in I} and real weights wi∈Rw_i \in \mathbb{R}, there exist two positive linear functionals P,N∈E→pRP, N \in E \to_p \mathbb{R} such that for all a∈Ea \in E: P(a)−N(a)=∑i∈Iwiϕi(a),P(a) - N(a) = \sum_{i \in I} w_i \phi_i(a), and for every element xx in the bidual space E∗∗E^{**}, the action of xx on these functionals satisfies: x(P)−x(N)=∑i∈Iwix(ϕi).x(P) - x(N) = \sum_{i \in I} w_i x(\phi_i).

definition

Set of values of effects 0≤a≤10 \le a \le 1 on a finite set of positive functionals SS

Given a finite set of positive linear functionals SS on an ordered vector space EE, the set of effect values is the set of all functions v:S→Rv: S \to \mathbb{R} such that there exists an element a∈Ea \in E satisfying 0≤a≤10 \le a \le 1 (an "effect") where v(ϕ)=ϕ(a)v(\phi) = \phi(a) for every ϕ∈S\phi \in S.

theorem

Convexity of the Set of Effect Values on Finite Positive Functionals

Let EE be an ordered vector space and SS be a finite set of positive linear functionals on EE. The set of effect values VS\mathcal{V}_S, defined as the set of all functions v:S→Rv: S \to \mathbb{R} such that there exists an element a∈Ea \in E with 0≤a≤10 \le a \le 1 satisfying v(ϕ)=ϕ(a)v(\phi) = \phi(a) for all ϕ∈S\phi \in S, is a convex set.

theorem

Bidual effects lie in the closure of the effect values of EE

Let EE be an order-unit space and Bidual(E)\text{Bidual}(E) be its bidual space. Let x∈Bidual(E)x \in \text{Bidual}(E) be an effect, meaning 0≤x≤10 \leq x \leq 1. For any finite set SS of positive linear functionals on EE, the vector of values (x(ϕ))ϕ∈S(x(\phi))_{\phi \in S} belongs to the closure of the set of values (ϕ(a))ϕ∈S(\phi(a))_{\phi \in S} attainable by effects a∈Ea \in E (where 0≤a≤10 \leq a \leq 1).

theorem

Effects in EE can ε\varepsilon-approximate effects in the bidual space E∗∗E^{**} on finite sets of positive functionals.

Let EE be an order-unit space and E∗∗E^{**} be its bidual space. Let xx be an effect in the bidual space, such that 0≤x≤10 \leq x \leq 1. For any finite set SS of positive functionals ϕ:E→R\phi : E \to \mathbb{R} and any ε>0\varepsilon > 0, there exists an effect aa in the original space EE (where 0≤a≤10 \leq a \leq 1) such that for all ϕ∈S\phi \in S, the evaluation of aa by ϕ\phi is within ε\varepsilon of the value of the bidual element xx at ϕ\phi: ∣ϕ(a)−x(ϕ)∣<ε. |\phi(a) - x(\phi)| < \varepsilon.

definition

Set of 1n+1\frac{1}{n+1}-approximate joint effects for x,y∈E∗∗x, y \in E^{**} on SS

Let EE be an order-unit space and let E+∗E^*_+ denote the space of positive functionals E→pRE \to_{p} \mathbb{R}. For two elements x,yx, y in the bidual E∗∗E^{**} and a pair i=(S,n)i = (S, n) consisting of a finite set of positive functionals S⊂E+∗S \subset E^*_+ and a natural number nn, the set of **joint candidates** is the collection of additive and positively homogeneous functions z:E+∗→Rz: E^*_+ \to \mathbb{R} such that: 1. For all ϕ∈E+∗\phi \in E^*_+, the value z(ϕ)z(\phi) is bounded as −ϕ(1)≤z(ϕ)≤2ϕ(1)-\phi(1) \leq z(\phi) \leq 2\phi(1). 2. For all ϕ∈S\phi \in S, zz satisfies the conditions for being a joint effect of xx and yy up to an error of ϵ=1n+1\epsilon = \frac{1}{n+1}: - z(ϕ)≥−ϵz(\phi) \geq -\epsilon - z(ϕ)≤x(ϕ)+ϵz(\phi) \leq x(\phi) + \epsilon - z(ϕ)≤y(ϕ)+ϵz(\phi) \leq y(\phi) + \epsilon - z(ϕ)≥x(ϕ)+y(ϕ)−ϕ(1)−ϵz(\phi) \geq x(\phi) + y(\phi) - \phi(1) - \epsilon

theorem

The Set of Joint Candidates is Closed

Let EE be an order-unit space and E+∗E^*_+ be the space of positive functionals on EE. For any two elements x,yx, y in the bidual space E∗∗E^{**} and a pair i=(S,n)i = (S, n) consisting of a finite set of positive functionals S⊂E+∗S \subset E^*_+ and a natural number nn, the set of **joint candidates** is defined as the collection of additive and positively homogeneous functions z:E+∗→Rz: E^*_+ \to \mathbb{R} satisfying: 1. −ϕ(1)≤z(ϕ)≤2ϕ(1)-\phi(1) \leq z(\phi) \leq 2\phi(1) for all ϕ∈E+∗\phi \in E^*_+. 2. For all ϕ∈S\phi \in S, the following inequalities hold with ϵ=1n+1\epsilon = \frac{1}{n+1}: - z(ϕ)≥−ϵz(\phi) \geq -\epsilon - z(ϕ)≤x(ϕ)+ϵz(\phi) \leq x(\phi) + \epsilon - z(ϕ)≤y(ϕ)+ϵz(\phi) \leq y(\phi) + \epsilon - z(ϕ)≥x(ϕ)+y(ϕ)−ϕ(1)−ϵz(\phi) \geq x(\phi) + y(\phi) - \phi(1) - \epsilon The theorem states that this set of joint candidates is closed in the topology of pointwise convergence.

theorem

Condition for the evaluation functional of an approximate joint effect in EE to be a joint candidate in E∗∗E^{**}

Let EE be an order-unit space with order unit 11, and let E+∗E^*_+ be the cone of positive functionals on EE. Given elements x,yx, y in the bidual E∗∗E^{**}, a finite set of positive functionals S⊂E+∗S \subset E^*_+, and a natural number nn, let ϵ=1n+1\epsilon = \frac{1}{n+1} represent the error tolerance. Suppose there exist elements a,b,c∈Ea, b, c \in E and a real number δ∈R\delta \in \mathbb{R} such that: 1. δ∑ϕ∈Sϕ(1)≤ϵ4\delta \sum_{\phi \in S} \phi(1) \leq \frac{\epsilon}{4} and δ≤1\delta \leq 1. 2. For all ϕ∈S\phi \in S, the values of aa and bb are close to xx and yy respectively: ∣ϕ(a)−x(ϕ)∣<ϵ4|\phi(a) - x(\phi)| < \frac{\epsilon}{4} and ∣ϕ(b)−y(ϕ)∣<ϵ4|\phi(b) - y(\phi)| < \frac{\epsilon}{4}. 3. a≤1a \leq 1, and cc serves as an approximate joint effect for aa and bb in the sense that −δ⋅1≤c-\delta \cdot 1 \leq c, c≤a+δ⋅1c \leq a + \delta \cdot 1, c≤b+δ⋅1c \leq b + \delta \cdot 1, and a+b−1≤c+δ⋅1a + b - 1 \leq c + \delta \cdot 1. Then the evaluation functional induced by cc (the map ϕ↦ϕ(c)\phi \mapsto \phi(c)) belongs to the set of joint candidates for xx and yy associated with the pair (S,n)(S, n).

theorem

Approximate compatibility in EE implies non-emptiness of joint candidates in E∗∗E^{**}

Let EE be an order-unit space. Suppose that for any two effects e,f∈Ee, f \in E and any δ>0\delta > 0, there exists an effect g∈Eg \in E that is a δ\delta-approximate binary joint effect of ee and ff. Then, for any two effects x,yx, y in the bidual space E∗∗E^{**} and any pair i=(S,n)i = (S, n) consisting of a finite set of positive functionals S⊂E+∗S \subset E^*_+ and a natural number nn, the set of joint candidates for xx and yy associated with ii is non-empty.

theorem

`jointCandidates` is antitone with respect to the index ii

Let EE be an order-unit space and E+∗E^*_+ be the space of positive functionals on EE. For any two elements x,yx, y in the bidual E∗∗E^{**} and indices i,j∈Finset(E+∗)×Ni, j \in \text{Finset}(E^*_+) \times \mathbb{N}, if i≤ji \leq j (which implies i.1⊆j.1i.1 \subseteq j.1 and i.2≤j.2i.2 \leq j.2), then the set of joint candidates for jj is a subset of the set of joint candidates for ii: jointCandidates(x,y,j)⊆jointCandidates(x,y,i)\text{jointCandidates}(x, y, j) \subseteq \text{jointCandidates}(x, y, i)

theorem

Compatibility in EE implies the intersection of joint candidate sets in E∗∗E^{**} is non-empty

Suppose that in an order-unit space EE, every pair of effects e,f∈[0,1]Ee, f \in [0, 1]_E is compatible, in the sense that for any δ>0\delta > 0, there exists an approximate binary joint effect g∈Eg \in E. Let xx and yy be effects in the bidual space E∗∗E^{**} (i.e., 0≤x,y≤10 \le x, y \le 1). Then the intersection of all sets of joint candidates jointCandidates(x,y,i)\text{jointCandidates}(x, y, i) over all indices i=(S,n)i = (S, n) (where SS is a finite set of positive functionals on EE and n∈Nn \in \mathbb{N}) is non-empty: ⋂ijointCandidates(x,y,i)≠∅\bigcap_{i} \text{jointCandidates}(x, y, i) \neq \emptyset

theorem

A function in ⋂ijointCandidates\bigcap_i \text{jointCandidates} is a joint effect in the bidual E∗∗E^{**}

Let EE be an order-unit space and E∗∗E^{**} be its bidual space. Let xx and yy be effects in E∗∗E^{**}, such that 0≤x,y≤10 \le x, y \le 1. If z:E+∗→Rz: E^*_+ \to \mathbb{R} is a function belonging to the intersection of all sets of joint candidates jointCandidates(x,y,i)\text{jointCandidates}(x, y, i) over all indices i∈Finset(E+∗)×Ni \in \text{Finset}(E^*_+) \times \mathbb{N}, then there exists an element z′∈E∗∗z' \in E^{**} which is a binary joint effect of xx and yy.

theorem

Compatibility Passes to the Bidual E∗∗E^{**}

Let EE be an order-unit space. Suppose that for every pair of effects e,f∈[0,1]Ee, f \in [0, 1]_E and every δ>0\delta > 0, there exists an approximate binary joint effect g∈Eg \in E for ee and ff. Then, for any two effects x,y∈[0,1]E∗∗x, y \in [0, 1]_{E^{**}} in the bidual space of EE, there exists an element z∈E∗∗z \in E^{**} that is a binary joint effect for xx and yy. Here, an effect is an element vv such that 0≤v≤10 \le v \le 1.

definition

Gauge of x∈Bidual(E)x \in \text{Bidual}(E)

For an element xx in the bidual space Bidual(E)\text{Bidual}(E) of an order-unit space EE, the gauge of xx is the infimum of all non-negative real numbers tt such that xx is bounded above by tt times the order unit 11. That is, gauge(x)=inf⁡{t∈R∣0≤t and x≤t⋅1} \text{gauge}(x) = \inf \{ t \in \mathbb{R} \mid 0 \le t \text{ and } x \le t \cdot 1 \} where 11 is the canonical order unit in the bidual space.

theorem

The set {t∈R∣0≤t,x≤t⋅1}\{t \in \mathbb{R} \mid 0 \le t, x \le t \cdot 1\} is non-empty for any x∈Bidual(E)x \in \text{Bidual}(E)

Given an order-unit space EE, let Bidual(E)\text{Bidual}(E) be its bidual space and 11 be the order unit in Bidual(E)\text{Bidual}(E). For any element x∈Bidual(E)x \in \text{Bidual}(E), the set of non-negative real numbers tt such that x≤t⋅1x \le t \cdot 1 is non-empty. That is, there exists some t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R} with t≥0t \ge 0 satisfying x≤t⋅1x \le t \cdot 1.

theorem

The gauge of an element in the bidual space is non-negative (gauge(x)≥0\text{gauge}(x) \ge 0)

For any element xx in the bidual space Bidual(E)\text{Bidual}(E) of an order-unit space EE, the gauge of xx is non-negative, i.e., gauge(x)≥0\text{gauge}(x) \ge 0.

theorem

x≤t⋅1  ⟹  gauge(x)≤tx \le t \cdot 1 \implies \text{gauge}(x) \le t for t≥0t \ge 0

Let EE be an order-unit space and Bidual(E)\text{Bidual}(E) be its bidual space. For any element x∈Bidual(E)x \in \text{Bidual}(E) and any non-negative real number t≥0t \ge 0, if xx is bounded above by tt times the canonical order unit 11 (i.e., x≤t⋅1x \le t \cdot 1), then the gauge of xx satisfies gauge(x)≤t\text{gauge}(x) \le t.

theorem

x≤gauge(x)⋅1x \le \text{gauge}(x) \cdot 1 in the bidual space

Let EE be an order-unit space and Bidual(E)\text{Bidual}(E) be its bidual space. For any element x∈Bidual(E)x \in \text{Bidual}(E), it holds that x≤gauge(x)⋅1x \le \text{gauge}(x) \cdot 1, where gauge(x)\text{gauge}(x) is the gauge of xx (the infimum of all t≥0t \ge 0 such that x≤t⋅1x \le t \cdot 1) and 11 is the canonical order unit in the bidual space.

theorem

gauge(0)=0\text{gauge}(0) = 0

In the bidual space Bidual(E)\text{Bidual}(E) of an order-unit space EE, the gauge of the zero element is 00. The gauge of an element x∈Bidual(E)x \in \text{Bidual}(E) is defined as the infimum of all non-negative real numbers tt such that xx is bounded above by t⋅1t \cdot 1, where 11 is the canonical order unit in the bidual space.

theorem

(gauge x)−1⋅x(\text{gauge } x)^{-1} \cdot x is an effect

Let EE be an order-unit space and let Bidual(E)\text{Bidual}(E) be its bidual space. For any element x∈Bidual(E)x \in \text{Bidual}(E) such that x≥0x \ge 0 and its gauge is strictly positive (gauge(x)>0\text{gauge}(x) > 0), the scaled element (gauge(x))−1⋅x(\text{gauge}(x))^{-1} \cdot x is an effect in Bidual(E)\text{Bidual}(E). That is, 0≤(gauge(x))−1⋅x≤10 \le (\text{gauge}(x))^{-1} \cdot x \le 1, where 11 is the unit element in the bidual space.

theorem

Orthogonal Bidual Elements are Spread Apart: rgauge(r)+wgauge(w)≤1\frac{r}{\text{gauge}(r)} + \frac{w}{\text{gauge}(w)} \le 1

Let EE be an order-unit space and E∗∗E^{**} its bidual space. Let rr and ww be non-negative elements in E∗∗E^{**} that are orthogonal, meaning they have no common non-zero lower bound (i.e., for any c∈E∗∗c \in E^{**}, if 0≤c≤r0 \le c \le r and 0≤c≤w0 \le c \le w, then c=0c = 0). For any positive linear functional ϕ\phi on EE, the following inequality holds: gauge(r)⋅w(ϕ)≤gauge(w)⋅(gauge(r)⋅ϕ(1)−r(ϕ)) \text{gauge}(r) \cdot w(\phi) \leq \text{gauge}(w) \cdot (\text{gauge}(r) \cdot \phi(1) - r(\phi)) where gauge(x)=inf⁡{t∈R∣0≤t and x≤t⋅1}\text{gauge}(x) = \inf \{ t \in \mathbb{R} \mid 0 \le t \text{ and } x \le t \cdot 1 \} is the gauge of xx in the bidual space. This inequality implies that the normalized elements are "spread apart," effectively satisfying rgauge(r)+wgauge(w)≤1\frac{r}{\text{gauge}(r)} + \frac{w}{\text{gauge}(w)} \le 1.

definition

Set of pairs (p1,p2)(p_1, p_2) such that p1≤v1,p2≤v2p_1 \le v_1, p_2 \le v_2, and p1+p2≤up_1 + p_2 \le u

Given elements v1,v2,uv_1, v_2, u in the bidual space E∗∗E^{**}, the set of decompositions consists of all pairs of elements (p1,p2)∈E∗∗×E∗∗(p_1, p_2) \in E^{**} \times E^{**} such that 0≤p1≤v10 \le p_1 \le v_1, 0≤p2≤v20 \le p_2 \le v_2, and their sum satisfies p1+p2≤up_1 + p_2 \le u.

theorem

Chains of Decompositions in the Bidual Have Upper Bounds

Let E∗∗E^{**} be the bidual space of an order-unit space EE. For elements v1,v2,u∈E∗∗v_1, v_2, u \in E^{**}, let D(v1,v2,u)\mathcal{D}(v_1, v_2, u) be the set of decompositions defined as the set of pairs (p1,p2)∈E∗∗×E∗∗(p_1, p_2) \in E^{**} \times E^{**} such that 0≤p1≤v10 \le p_1 \le v_1, 0≤p2≤v20 \le p_2 \le v_2, and p1+p2≤up_1 + p_2 \le u. If C⊆D(v1,v2,u)C \subseteq \mathcal{D}(v_1, v_2, u) is a non-empty chain with respect to the product order, then there exists an upper bound ub∈D(v1,v2,u)ub \in \mathcal{D}(v_1, v_2, u) such that for every z∈Cz \in C, z≤ubz \le ub.

theorem

Orthogonality of the remainder and v1−p1v_1 - p_1 for maximal decompositions

Let E∗∗E^{**} be the bidual space of an ordered vector space EE. For elements v1,v2,u∈E∗∗v_1, v_2, u \in E^{**}, let (p1,p2)(p_1, p_2) be a maximal element (with respect to the product order) in the set of pairs (q1,q2)(q_1, q_2) satisfying 0≤q1≤v10 \le q_1 \le v_1, 0≤q2≤v20 \le q_2 \le v_2, and q1+q2≤uq_1 + q_2 \le u. Then, the remainder u−p1−p2u - p_1 - p_2 and the remaining space below v1v_1 (given by v1−p1v_1 - p_1) have no common positive lower bound; that is, if 0≤c≤u−p1−p20 \le c \le u - p_1 - p_2 and c≤v1−p1c \le v_1 - p_1, then c=0c = 0.

theorem

Orthogonality of the remainder and v2−p2v_2 - p_2 for maximal decompositions in E∗∗E^{**}

Let E∗∗E^{**} be the bidual of an order-unit space EE. For elements v1,v2,u∈E∗∗v_1, v_2, u \in E^{**}, let (p1,p2)(p_1, p_2) be a maximal element (with respect to the product order) of the set of pairs (q1,q2)∈E∗∗×E∗∗(q_1, q_2) \in E^{**} \times E^{**} such that 0≤q1≤v1,0≤q2≤v20 \le q_1 \le v_1, 0 \le q_2 \le v_2, and q1+q2≤uq_1 + q_2 \le u. Then, for any c∈E∗∗c \in E^{**}, if 0≤c≤u−p1−p20 \le c \le u - p_1 - p_2 and c≤v2−p2c \le v_2 - p_2, it must be that c=0c = 0.

theorem

Compatibility in E∗∗E^{**} implies Riesz decomposition

Let EE be an order-unit space and E∗∗E^{**} be its bidual space. If every pair of effects in E∗∗E^{**} (elements e∈E∗∗e \in E^{**} such that 0≤e≤10 \le e \le 1) is compatible, then E∗∗E^{**} satisfies the Riesz decomposition property. That is, for any elements u,v1,v2∈E∗∗u, v_1, v_2 \in E^{**} such that 0≤u≤v1+v20 \le u \le v_1 + v_2, there exist p1,p2∈E∗∗p_1, p_2 \in E^{**} such that u=p1+p2u = p_1 + p_2 with 0≤p1≤v10 \le p_1 \le v_1 and 0≤p2≤v20 \le p_2 \le v_2.

definition

Canonical positive embedding E→E∗∗E \to E^{**}

The canonical embedding of an order-unit space EE into its bidual E∗∗E^{**} as a positive linear map. It maps an element x∈Ex \in E to the functional in E∗∗E^{**} that evaluates any linear functional φ∈E∗\varphi \in E^* at xx. This map is positive, meaning it maps the positive cone of EE to the positive cone of E∗∗E^{**}.

theorem

Riesz decomposition of the bidual E∗∗E^{**} implies EE is classical

Let EE be an order-unit space. If the bidual space E∗∗E^{**} of EE satisfies the Riesz decomposition property, then the system EE is classical. This means that the dual cone E+∗E^*_+ of positive linear functionals on EE forms a lattice under the natural ordering, such that for any two positive functionals ϕ,ψ∈E+∗\phi, \psi \in E^*_+, there exists a least upper bound ϕ∨ψ\phi \vee \psi.

theorem

Approximate Joint Effects imply Classicality

Let EE be an order-unit space. If for every pair of effects e,f∈Ee, f \in E (where an effect is an element xx satisfying 0≤x≤10 \le x \le 1) and for every δ>0\delta > 0, there exists an approximate binary joint effect g∈Eg \in E for ee and ff with error δ\delta, then the space EE is classical. Here, a space is defined as classical if its dual cone E+∗E^*_+ of positive linear functionals forms a lattice.

theorem

Joint Measurability of Binary Measurements Implies Classicality

Let FF be an Archimedean order-unit space. If for every pair of effects e,f∈Fe, f \in F (elements satisfying 0≤e,f≤10 \le e, f \le 1), their associated binary (yes/no) measurements are jointly measurable, then FF is classical. Classicality means that the dual cone F+∗F^*_+ of positive linear functionals on FF forms a lattice, which is equivalent to the state space of the system being a Choquet simplex.

theorem

Classicality Implies Existence of Binary Joint Effects

Let FF be an Archimedean order-unit space. If FF is classical (meaning its dual cone F+∗F^*_+ of positive linear functionals forms a lattice), then for any two effects e,f∈Fe, f \in F (elements such that 0≤e≤10 \le e \le 1 and 0≤f≤10 \le f \le 1), there exists an element g∈Fg \in F that is a binary joint effect for ee and ff.

theorem

Kuramochi's Theorem: FF is classical   ⟺  \iff all binary measurements are jointly measurable

**Kuramochi's Theorem.** Let FF be a complete Archimedean order-unit space. Then FF is classical if and only if every pair of binary measurements is jointly measurable. Specifically, the following conditions are equivalent: 1. FF is **classical**, meaning the dual cone F+∗F^*_+ of positive linear functionals on FF forms a lattice (which is equivalent to the state space of FF being a Choquet simplex). 2. For any two effects e,f∈Fe, f \in F (where an effect is an element x∈Fx \in F such that 0≤x≤10 \le x \le 1), their corresponding binary (yes/no) measurements are jointly measurable.
