Fidelity induced distance measures for quantum states

Quantum Physics 2015-05-13 v3

Abstract

Fidelity plays an important role in quantum information theory. In this letter, we introduce new metric of quantum states induced by fidelity, and connect it with the well-known trace metric, Sine metric and Bures metric for the qubit case. The metric character is also presented for the qudit (i.e., dd-dimensional system) case. The CPT contractive property and joint convex property of the metric are also studied.
