abstract
The existence of noncompatible observables in quantum theory makes a direct operational interpretation of two-point correlation functions problematic. Here we challenge such a view by explicitly constructing a measuring scheme that, independently of the input state $\rho$ and observables $A$ and $B$, performs an unbiased optimal estimation of the two-point correlation function $\operatorname{Tr}[A \ \rho \ B]$. This shows that, also in quantum theory, two-point correlation functions are as operational as any other expectation value. A very simple probabilistic implementation of our proposal is presented.

Selecting Complex Extremal Surfaces with the Kontsevich--Segal--Witten Criterion
In AdS3, dS3, and AdS4 hyperbolic examples, the Kontsevich-Segal-Witten criterion uniquely selects a three-piece complex contour for timelike extremal surfaces, while timelike strips in AdS4 violate the criterion near...

Virtual Cloning of Quantum States
A set of quantum states can be virtually cloned if and only if their density matrices are linearly independent, and the optimal 1-to-2 cloning cost for any pair of pure states equals sqrt(1+|⟨ψ1|ψ2⟩|²).

Experimental Virtual Quantum Broadcasting
Researchers experimentally realized virtual quantum broadcasting on an NMR processor by combining a universal cloner with a universal antisymmetrizer via linear combination of unitaries and classical post-processing.

Hermitian Maps: Approximations and Completely Positive Extensions
The paper's optimal CP approximation result is a restatement of known matrix projection facts, and its claimed minimal auxiliary dimension (the Choi rank) is false: two dimensions always suffice.
