Achieving Holevo Bound in Quantum Measurement
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that information gain in a qubit measurement is optimal under a Von Neumann measurement. For an initially mixed apparatus kept in touch with a qubit, the conditions for achieving the equality sign of Holevo bound on the information accessible to apparatus are derived. These constraints can be identified as the conditions for the optimization of information gain in a qubit measurement. At the end, we will generalize the idea to qudit measurements using a phase-shift gate. PACS Numbers: 03.67.-a, 03.65.Ta Corresponding Author email:[email protected]

Achieving the Holevo bound via a bisection decoding protocol
We present a new decoding protocol to realize transmission of classical information through a quantum channel at asymptotically maximum capacity, achieving the Holevo bound and thus the optimal communication rate. At variance with previous proposals, our scheme recover the message bit by bit, making use of a series “yes-no” measurements, organized in bisection fashion, thus determining which co...

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...
متن کاملUpper bounds for the Holevo quantity and their use
We present a family of easily computable upper bounds for the Holevo quantity of ensemble of quantum states depending on a reference state as a free parameter. These upper bounds are obtained by combining probabilistic and metric characteristics of the ensemble. We show that appropriate choice of the reference state gives tight upper bounds for the Holevo quantity which in many cases improve ex...
متن کاملThe Holevo bound and Landauer’s principle
Landauer’s principle [1] states that the erasure of classical information leads to an increase in the entropy of the environment by at least the same amount. The importance of this principle is the insight that it is not the act of obtaining information that necessarily generates heat and therefore entropy, but the erasure of information. This profound insight has led to the resolution of the p...
