These include quantum states, nonlocal boxes, steering assemblages, teleportages, channel steering assemblages, and so on. Such resources are often studied using nonlocal games, semiquantum games, entanglement-witnesses, teleportation experiments, and similar tasks. We introduce a unifying framework which subsumes the full range of nonsignaling resources, as well as the games and experiments which probe them, into a common resource theory: that of local operations and shared randomness (LOSR). Crucially, we allow these LOSR operations to locally change the type of a resource, so that players can convert resources of <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\"><mml:mi>a<\/mml:mi><mml:mi>n<\/mml:mi><mml:mi>y<\/mml:mi><\/mml:math> type into resources of any other type, and in particular into strategies for the specific type of game they are playing. We then prove several theorems relating resources and games of different types. These theorems generalize a number of seminal results from the literature, and can be applied to lessen the assumptions needed to characterize the nonclassicality of resources. As just one example, we prove that semiquantum games are able to perfectly characterize the LOSR nonclassicality of every resource of <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\"><mml:mi>a<\/mml:mi><mml:mi>n<\/mml:mi><mml:mi>y<\/mml:mi><\/mml:math> type (not just quantum states, as was previously shown). As a consequence, we show that any resource can be characterized in a measurement-device-independent manner.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.22331\/q-2020-04-30-262","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,30]],"date-time":"2020-04-30T16:38:48Z","timestamp":1588264728000},"page":"262","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.22331\/q-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":56,"title":["The type-independent resource theory of local operations and shared randomness"],"prefix":"10.22331","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7865-9962","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Schmid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, 31 Caroline St. N, Waterloo, Ontario, N2L 2Y5, Canada"},{"name":"Institute for Quantum Computing and Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3G1, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0444-7558","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Denis","family":"Rosset","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, 31 Caroline St. N, Waterloo, Ontario, N2L 2Y5, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9741-0628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"Buscemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Informatics, Nagoya University, Chikusa-ku, 464-8601 Nagoya, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"9598","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"A.
