A simple sufficient condition for the coexistence of quantum effects

Published Apr 3, 2013• 18 citations

Abstract

Two quantum effects are considered coexistent if they can be measured together. It is known that commutativity and comparability are sufficient but not necessary for the coexistence of two effects. We unify those two conditions to a simple but more widely applicable sufficient condition.

Factorizations of quantum effects

Chunyuan Deng

Some necessary and sufficient conditions are established respectively for an effect to be a sum of a sharp effect and an almost sharp effect,and to be a sum of two sharp effects.A necessary and sufficient condition is also given for an effect to be almost sharp.As applications,an effect can be represented as a sum of two almost sharp effects if the dimension of H is infinite or even and as a sum of at most three sharp effects if the dimension of H is odd.

When do Projections Commute?

W. Rehder

Abstract Necessary and sufficient conditions for commutativity of two projections in Hilbert space are given through properties of so-called conditional connectives which are derived from the conditional probability operator PQP. This approach unifies most of the known proofs, provides a few new criteria, and permits certain suggestive interpretations for compound properties of quantum-mechanical systems.

Comparison of mixed quantum states

Shengshi Pang, Shengjun Wu

In this article, we study the problem of comparing mixed quantum states: given $n$ unknown mixed quantum states, can one determine whether they are identical or not with an unambiguous quantum measurement? We first study the universal comparison of mixed quantum states, and prove that this task is generally impossible to accomplish. Then, we focus on the unambiguous comparison of $n$ mixed quantum states arbitrarily chosen from a set of $k$ mixed quantum states. The condition for the existence of an unambiguous measurement operator which can produce a conclusive result when the unknown states are actually the same and the condition for the existence of an unambiguous measurement operator when the unknown states are actually different are studied independently. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the first measurement operator, and a necessary condition and two sufficient conditions for the second. Furthermore, we find that the sufficiency of the necessary condition for the second measurement operator has a simple and interesting dependence on $n$ and $k$. At the end, a unified condition is obtained for the simultaneous existence of these two unambiguous measurement operators.

Characterization of the sequential product on quantum effects

We present a characterization of the standard sequential product of quantum effects. The characterization is in terms of algebraic, continuity and duality conditions that can be physically motivated.
