Positive operator valued measures covariant with respect to an irreducible representation
Given an irreducible representation of a group G, we show that all the covariant positive operator valued measures based on G/Z, where Z is a central subgroup, are described by trace class, trace one positive operators.
متن کاملCovariance Systems on the Projective Line .
We study the positive-operator-valued measures on the projective real line covariant with respect to the projective group, assuming that the energy is a positive operator. This problem is similar to the more complicated problem of finding the positive-operator-valued measures on the compactified Minkowski space-time covariant with respect to the conformal group. It also describes a time-of-arri...
متن کاملExtremal Covariant Positive Operator Valued Measures: the Case of a Compact Symmetry Group
In the modern theory of quantum mechanics, observables are represented as normalized positive operator valued measures (POVMs). The set of all POVMs having the same outcome space has natural convex structure. A convex mixture of two POVMs corresponds to a random choice between two measurement apparatuses. An extremal POVM thus describes an observable which is unaffected by this kind of randomne...
متن کاملEgoroff Theorem for Operator-Valued Measures in Locally Convex Cones
In this paper, we define the almost uniform convergence and the almost everywhere convergence for cone-valued functions with respect to an operator valued measure. We prove the Egoroff theorem for Pvalued functions and operator valued measure θ : R → L(P, Q), where R is a σ-ring of subsets of X≠ ∅, (P, V) is a quasi-full locally convex cone and (Q, W) is a locally ...
متن کاملOptimal Covariant Measurements: the Case of a Compact Symmetry Group and Phase Observables
We study various optimality criteria for quantum observables. Observables are represented as covariant positive operator valued measures and we consider the case when the symmetry group is compact. Phase observables are examined as an example.
