Optimal state estimation for d-dimensional quantum systems

Quantum Physics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We establish a connection between optimal quantum cloning and optimal state estimation for d-dimensional quantum systems. In this way we derive an upper limit on the fidelity of state estimation for d-dimensional pure quantum states and, furthermore, for generalized inputs supported on the symmetric subspace.
