Information gain in quantum continual measurements

Alberto Barchielli, G. Lupieri

Inspired by works on information transmission through quantum channels, we propose the use of a couple of mutual entropies to quantify the efficiency of continual measurement schemes in extracting information on the measured quantum system. Properties of these measures of information are studied and bounds on them are derived.

Thermodynamic uncertainty relation under continuous measurement and feedback with quantum-classical-transfer entropy

Kaito Tojo, Takahiro Sagawa, Ken Funo

We derive a thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) under quantum continuous measurement and feedback control. By incorporating the quantum-classical-transfer entropy, which quantifies the information gained by continuous measurement, we show that the precision of currents is constrained by information-thermodynamic costs such as the entropy production and information gain. Our result shows that information gain has the potential to enhance the precision of currents beyond the bounds set by the conventional TUR. We illustrate the bound with a driven two-level system under continuous measurement and feedback, demonstrating that feedback achieves higher precision of currents while suppressing the entropy production.

Entropy reduction of quantum measurements

Максим Евгеньевич Широков

It is shown that the entropy reduction (the information gain in the initial terminology) of an efficient (ideal or pure) quantum measurement coincides with the generalized quantum mutual information of a quantum-classical channel mapping an a priori state to the corresponding posteriori probability distribution of the outcomes of the measurement. As a result the entropy reduction is defined for arbitrary a priori states (not only for states with finite von Neumann entropy) and its analytical properties is studied in detail by using general properties of the quantum mutual information. By using this approach it is shown that the entropy reduction of an efficient quantum measurement is a nonnegative lower semicontinuous concave function on the set of all a priori states having continuous restrictions to subsets on which the von Neumann entropy is continuous. Monotonicity and subadditivity of the entropy reduction are also easily proved by this method. A simple continuity condition for the entropy reduction and for the mean posteriori entropy considered as functions of a pair (a priori state, measurement) is obtained. A characterization of an irreducible measurement (in the Ozawa sense) which is not efficient is considered in the Appendix.
