Sequential Products of Quantum Measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
Sequential products of quantum measurements are defined and studied. Two types of measurement equivalence are considered and their relationships with compatibility and the sequential product are discussed. It is shown that a measurement A is sharp if and only if A is equivalent to the sequential product of A with itself. Refinements of measurements are defined and it is shown that they produce a partial order on the set of measurements. Lattice properties of this partially ordered set are briefly discussed. Finally we consider convex combinations and conditioning for quantum measurements.

Sequential Product of Quantum Effects: an Overview
This article presents an overview for the theory of sequential products of quantum effects. We first summarize some of the highlights of this relatively recent field of investigation and then provide some new results. We begin by discussing sequential effect algebras which are effect algebras endowed with a sequential product satisfying certain basic conditions. We then consider sequential prod...
متن کاملFuzzy Quantum Probability Theory
This paper surveys some of the recent results that have been obtained in fuzzy quantum probability theory. In this theory fuzzy events are represented by quantum effects and fuzzy random variables are represented by quantum measurements. Probabilities, conditional probabilities and sequential products of effects are discussed. The relationship between the law of total probability and compatibil...
متن کاملDesign and Test of New Robust QCA Sequential Circuits
One of the several promising new technologies for computing at nano-scale is quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA). In this paper, new designs for different QCA sequential circuits are presented. Using an efficient QCA D flip-flop (DFF) architecture, a 5-bit counter, a novel single edge generator (SEG) and a divide-by-2 counter are implemented. Also, some types of oscillators, a new edge-t...
متن کاملTesting sequential quantum measurements: how can maximal knowledge be extracted?
The extraction of information from a quantum system unavoidably implies a modification of the measured system itself. In this framework partial measurements can be carried out in order to extract only a portion of the information encoded in a quantum system, at the cost of inducing a limited amount of disturbance. Here we analyze experimentally the dynamics of sequential partial measurements ca...
