Some properties of partial fidelities

Published May 30, 2009• 1 citation

Abstract

Basic properties of Uhlmann's partial fidelities are discussed. Statistical interpretation in terms of POVM measurements is established. Multiplicativity properties are considered. The relationship between partial fidelities and partitioned trace distances is derived. As it is shown, the partial fidelities cannot decrease under unistochastic quantum operations. Thus, the partial fidelities have good properties in the sense of their use as distinguishability measures.

Bures distance and relative entropy

Stanley Gudder, Jean-Paul Marchand, Walter Wyss

We have previously constructed an entropy functional which characterizes statistical inference from partial measurement by maximum relative entropy. Here we discuss the mathematical properties of this concept in greater detail and establish its relation to the Bures distance and the Uhlmann transition probability.

Some New Metrics Based on Partial Fidelity and Partial Super-Fidelity

Zhaoqi Wu, Chuanxi Zhu, Xiaozhi Zhang

In this paper, we introduce some new metrics between quantum states based on partial fidelity and partial super-fidelity and discuss their properties. We show that the new metrics are useful measures in quantum information processing.

Some properties of partial super-fidelity

Tao Zhou, Yuan Li

In this paper, we give the definition of k th sub-fidelity and k th super-fidelity between quantum states ρ and ϱ, and investigate the relationship among k th partial fidelity ( F k (ρ, ϱ)), k th sub-fidelity ( E k (ρ, ϱ)) and k th super-fidelity ( G k (ρ, ϱ)). In particular, it is shown that E k (ρ, ϱ) ⩽ F k (ρ, ϱ) ⩽ G k (ρ, ϱ). In addition, we show that the partial super-fidelity is a super-multiplicative map, which is G kl (ρ 1 ⊗ϱ 1 , ρ 2 ⊗ϱ 2 ) ⩾ G k (ρ 1 , ρ 2 ) G l (ϱ 1 , ϱ 2 ), for 1 ⩽ k , l ⩽ d .

Fidelity for Mixed Quantum States

Richard Jozsa

We propose a definition of fidelity for mixed quantum states in terms of Uhlmann's ‘transition probability’ formula F(ϱ1, ϱ2) = {trace [(√ϱ1ϱ2 × √ϱ1)1/2]}2 and give new elementary proofs of its essential properties.

Comment on “Compare Quantum Operation Sensitivity for Different Distance Measures"

Gao Yun-feng, Jian Qiang Feng

We make comments on the conclusions of the paper: “Compare Quantum Operation Sensitivity for Different Distance Measures" [ Commun. Theor. Phys. 53 (2010) 635 ], and give a physical example to describe the non-equivalence of the fidelity and the trace distance. We prove that the fidelity is not more sensitive to a quantum operation than the trace distance.
