Bures and Statistical Distance for Squeezed Thermal States

Quantum Physics 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We compute the Bures distance between two thermal squeezed states and deduce the Statistical Distance metric. By computing the curvature of this metric we can identify regions of parameter space most sensitive to changes in these parameters and thus lead to optimum detection statistics.
