Coexistence of Quantum Effects

چکیده
The witness set W(A, B) for two quantum effects A, B is the set of effects that verify the coexistence of A and B. We first study the properties of W(A, B). We then introduce a measure of sharpness Sn(A) for an n-dimensional quantum effect A. We show that S2(A) has natural properties that a measure of sharpness should possess and conjecture that Sn(A) also has these properties for n > 2. Finally, we employ S2(A) to obtain a characterization for the coexistence of two qubit effects in terms of operational parameters.

The witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and its preservers
One of unsolved problems in quantum measurement theory is to characterize coexistence of quantum effects. In this paper, applying positive operator matrix theory, we give a mathematical characterization of the witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and obtain a series of properties of coexistence. We also devote to characterizing bijective morphisms on quantum effects leaving the witness...
متن کاملAnion˗π and Intramolecular Hydrogen Bond Interactions in the Various Complexes of 1,3,5-Triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene with H-, F-, Cl- and Br- Anions
The quantum chemical calculations were performed to investigate the interplay between the anion˗π and intramolecular hydrogen bond (IMHB) interactions in the various complexes of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (ANB) with Hˉ, Fˉ, Clˉ and Brˉ anions. For better understanding the cooperative effects, the parent molecules (ANB) and the corresponding complexes of 1,3,5˗trinitrobenzene with the...
متن کاملCoexistence of qubit effects
Two quantum events, represented by positive operators (effects), are coexistent if they can occur as possible outcomes in a single measurement scheme. Equivalently, the corresponding effects are coexistent if and only if they are contained in the ranges of a single (joint) observable. Here we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the coexistence of a pair of qubit effects.
متن کاملCoexistence of Quantum Operations
Quantum operations are used to describe the observed probability distributions and conditional states of the measured system. In this paper, we address the problem of their joint measurability (coexistence). We derive two equivalent coexistence criteria. The two most common classes of operations — Lüders operations and conditional state preparators — are analyzed. It is shown that Lüders operat...
متن کاملOn the Sharpness and Bias of Quantum Effects
The question of quantifying the sharpness (or unsharpness) of a quantum mechanical effect is investigated. Apart from sharpness, another property, bias, is found to be relevant for the joint measurability or coexistence of two effects. Measures of bias will be defined and examples given.
