One of unsolved problems in quantum measurement theory is to characterize coexistence of quantum effects. In this paper, applying positive operator matrix theory, we give a mathematical characterization of the witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and obtain a series of properties of coexistence. We also devote to characterizing bijective morphisms on quantum effects leaving the witness...

For vectors $X, Yin mathbb{R}^{n}$, we say $X$ is left matrix majorized by $Y$ and write $X prec_{ell} Y$ if for some row stochastic matrix $R, ~X=RY.$ Also, we write $Xsim_{ell}Y,$ when $Xprec_{ell}Yprec_{ell}X.$ A linear operator $Tcolon mathbb{R}^{p}to mathbb{R}^{n}$ is said to be a linear preserver of a given relation $prec$ if $Xprec Y$ on $mathbb{R}^{p}$ implies that $TXprec TY$ on $mathb...
