Statistical uncertainty in quantum optical photodetection measurements
We present a complete statistical analysis of quantum optical measurement schemes based on photodetection. Statistical distributions of quantum observables determined from a finite number of experimental runs are characterized with the help of the generating function, which we derive using the exact statistical description of raw experimental outcomes. We use the developed formalism to point ou...
متن کاملExperimental joint quantum measurements with minimum uncertainty.
Quantum physics constrains the accuracy of joint measurements of incompatible observables. Here we test tight measurement-uncertainty relations using single photons. We implement two independent, idealized uncertainty-estimation methods, the three-state method and the weak-measurement method, and adapt them to realistic experimental conditions. Exceptional quantum state fidelities of up to 0.99...
متن کاملInconclusive Quantum Measurements and Decisions under Uncertainty
We give a mathematical definition for the notion of inconclusive quantum measurements. In physics, such measurements occur at intermediate stages of a complex measurement procedure, with the final measurement result being operationally testable. Since the mathematical structure of Quantum Decision Theory (QDT) has been developed in analogy with the theory of quantum measurements, the inconclusi...
متن کاملUncertainty characteristics of generalized quantum measurements
The effects of any quantum measurement can be described by a collection of measurement operators $M̂ m% acting on the quantum state of the measured system. However, the Hilbert space formalism tends to obscure the relationship between the measurement results and the physical properties of the measured system. In this paper, a characterization of measurement operators in terms of measurement reso...
متن کاملUncertainty Relations for Noise and Disturbance in Generalized Quantum Measurements
Heisenberg’s uncertainty relation for measurement noise and disturbance states that any position measurement with noise ǫ brings the momentum disturbance not less than h̄/2ǫ. This relation holds only for restricted class of measuring apparatuses. Here, Heisenberg’s uncertainty relation is generalized to a relation that holds for all the possible quantum measurements, from which conditions are ob...
