The purpose of this article is to examine the greedy adaptive measurement policy in the context of a linear Guassian measurement model with an optimization criterion based on information gain. In the special case of sequential scalar measurements, we provide sufficient conditions under which the greedy policy actually is optimal in the sense of maximizing the net information gain. In the genera...

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. A...

We propose a new class of probabilistic reversing operations on the state of a system that was disturbed by a weak measurement. It can approximately recover the original state from the disturbed state especially with an additional information gain using the Hermitian conjugate of the measurement operator. We illustrate the general scheme by considering a quantum measurement consisting of spin s...

this paper presents a novel fully differential (FD) ultra high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) current operational amplifier (COA) with very low input impedance. Its FD structure that attenuates common mode signals over all stages grants ultra high CMRR and power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) that makes it suitable for mixed mode and accurate applications. Its performance is verified by HSPI...

In this paper we address methods for characterizing small, low-gain antennas that are intended to be operated autonomously by a passive transponder chip. We present a way to perform accurate 3D gain measurements by means of a small, battery-powered, calibrated signal source and a two axis rotation apparatus. From the measurement results the directional pattern and the antenna efficiency are der...
