Complete Optimal Convex Approximations of Qubit States under $B_2$ Distance

Quantum Physics 2018-06-14 v1

Abstract

We consider the optimal approximation of arbitrary qubit states with respect to an available states consisting the eigenstates of two of three Pauli matrices, the B2B_2-distance of an arbitrary target state. Both the analytical formulae of the B2B_2-distance and the corresponding complete optimal decompositions are obtained. The tradeoff relations for both the sum and the squared sum of the B2B_2-distances have been analytically and numerically investigated.
