The uniqueness of the Chentsov metric

Matheus R. Grasselli

Published Jan 1, 2001• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

We show that on the space of faithful density matrices, the only monotone metrics, for which the exponential and mixture affine connections are mutually dual, are constant multiples of the Bogoliubov-Kubo-Mori (BKM) metric.

ON THE UNIQUENESS OF THE CHENTSOV METRIC IN QUANTUM INFORMATION GEOMETRY

Matheus R. Grasselli, R. F. Streater

We show that, in finite dimensions, the only monotone metrics on the space of invertible density matrices for which the (+1) and (-1) affine connections are mutually dual are constant multiples of the Bogoliubov–Kubo–Mori metric.

Extending the Fisher metric to density matrices

D�nes Petz, Cs. Sudar

Chentsov studied Riemannian metrics on the set of probability measures from the point of view of decision theory. He proved that up to a constant factor the Fisher information is the only metric which is monotone under stochastic transformations. The present paper deals with monotone metrics on the space of finite density matrices on the basis motivated by quantum mechanics. A characterization of those metrics is given in terms of operator monotone functions. Several concrete metrics are constructed and analyzed, in particular, instead of the uniqueness in the probabilistic case, there is a large class of monotone metrics. Some of those appeared already in the physics literature a long time ago. A limiting procedure to pure states is discussed as well.

Geometrical Statistics Classical and Quantum

Bengtsson, I

This is a review of the ideas behind the Fisher--Rao metric on classical probability distributions, and how they generalize to metrics on density matrices. As is well known, the unique Fisher--Rao metric then becomes a large family of monotone metrics. Finally I focus on the Bures--Uhlmann metric, and discuss a recent result that connects the geometric operator mean to a geodesic billiard on the set of density matrices.
