Information and noise in quantum measurement
Even though measurement results obtained in the real world are generally both noisy and continuous, quantum measurement theory tends to emphasize the ideal limit of perfect precision and quantized measurement results. In this article, a more general concept of noisy measurements is applied to investigate the role of quantum noise in the measurement process. In particular, it is shown that the e...
متن کاملTopics in Quantum Measurement and Quantum Noise
In this thesis we consider primarily the dynamics of quantum systems subjected to continuous observation. In the Schrödinger picture the evolution of a continuously monitored quantum system, referred to as a ‘quantum trajectory’, may be described by a stochastic equation for the state vector. We present a method of deriving explicit evolution operators for linear quantum trajectories, and apply...

متن کاملQuantum information and precision measurement
The exciting recent developments in the theory of quantum information and computation have already established an enduring legacy. The two most far-reaching results — that a quantum computer (apparently) can solve problems that will forever be beyond the reach of classical computers [1], and that quantum information can be protected from errors if properly encoded [2] — have surely earned a pro...
متن کاملAccessible information in quantum measurement
The amount of information that can be accessed via measurement of a quantum system prepared in different states is limited by the Holevo bound. We present a simple proof of this theorem and its extension to sequential measurements based on the properties of quantum conditional and mutual entropies. The proof relies on a minimal physical model of the measurement which does not assume environment...
