Abstract: Measurements in the quantum domain can exceed classical notions. This concerns fundamental questions about the nature of the measurement process itself, as well as applications, such as their function as building blocks of quantum information processing protocols. In this paper we explore the notion of entanglement for detection devices in theory and experiment. A method is devised that allows one to determine nonlocal quantum coherence of positive-operator-valued measures via negative contributions in a joint distribution that fully describes the measurement apparatus under study. This approach is then applied to experimental data for detectors that ideally project onto Bell states. In particular, we describe the reconstruction of the aforementioned entanglement quasidistributions from raw data and compare the resulting negativities with those expected from theory. Therefore, our method provides a versatile toolbox for analyzing measurements regarding their quantum-correlation features for quantum science and quantum technology.
