Summary: The quantum effects for a physical system can be described by the set \(\mathcal E(\mathcal H)\) of positive operators on a complex Hilbert space \(\mathcal H\) that are bounded above by the identity operator \(I\). For \(A,B\in\mathcal E(\mathcal H)\), let \(A\circ B=A^{1/2}BA^{1/2}\) be the sequential product and let \(A\ast B=(AB+BA)/2\) be the Jordan product of \(A,B\in\mathcal E(\mathcal H)\). The main purpose of this note is to study some of the algebraic properties of effects. Many of our results show that algebraic conditions on \(A\circ B\) and \(A\ast B\) imply that \(A\) and \(B\) have \(3\times 3\) diagonal operator matrix forms with \(I_{\overline{\mathcal R(A)}\cap\overline{\mathcal R(B)}}\) as an orthogonal projection on closed subspace \(\overline{\mathcal R(A)}\cap\overline{\mathcal R(B)}\) being the common part of \(A\) and \(B\). Moreover, some generalizations of results known in the literature and a number of new results for bounded operators are derived.
