Operationally invariant measure of the distance between quantum states by complementary measurements.

چکیده
We propose an operational measure of distance of two quantum states, which conversely tells us their closeness. This is defined as a sum of differences in partial knowledge over a complete set of mutually complementary measurements for the two states. It is shown that the measure is operationally invariant and it is equivalent to the Hilbert-Schmidt distance. The operational measure of distance provides a remarkable interpretation of the information distance between quantum states.

Operationally Invariant Information in Quantum Measurements
A new measure of information in quantum mechanics is proposed which takes into account that for quantum systems the only features known before an experiment is performed are the probabilities for various events to occur. The sum of the individual measures of information for mutually complementary observations is invariant under the choice of the particular set of complementary observations and ...
متن کاملQuantum hypothesis testing with group symmetry
The asymptotic discrimination problem of two quantum states is studied in the setting where measurements are required to be invariant under some symmetry group of the system. We consider various asymptotic error exponents in connection with the problems of the Chernoff bound, the Hoeffding bound and Stein’s lemma, and derive bounds on these quantities in terms of their corresponding statistical...
متن کاملMatrix Permanent and Quantum Entanglement of Permutation Invariant States
We point out that a geometric measure of quantum entanglement is related to the matrix permanent when restricted to permutation invariant states. This connection allows us to interpret the permanent as an angle between vectors. By employing a recently introduced permanent inequality [Carlen, Loss and Lieb, Meth. and Appl. of Analysis, 13 (2006), no. 1, 1–17], we can write combinatorial formulas...
متن کاملGenerating Discrete Trace Transition System of a Polyhe-dral Invariant Hybrid Automaton
Supervisory control and fault diagnosis of hybrid systems need to have complete information about the discrete states transitions of the underling system. From this point of view, the hybrid system should be abstracted to a Discrete Trace Transition System (DTTS) and represented by a discrete mode transition graph. In this paper an effective method is proposed for generating discrete mode trans...
متن کاملIntrinsic metrological resolution as a distance measure and nonclassical light
We elaborate on a Hilbert-Schmidt distance measure assessing the intrinsic metrological accuracy in the detection of signals imprinted on quantum probe states by signal-dependent transformations. For small signals this leads to a probe-transformation measure Λ fully symmetric on the probe ρ and the generator G of the transformation Λ(ρ,G) = Λ(G, ρ). Although Λ can be regarded as a generalizatio...
