Proof of the Orthogonal Measurement Conjecture for Qubit States

Quantum Physics 2008-09-02 v1

Abstract

The accessible information of general signal states is obtained by performing a generalized measurement. In the case that the signal alphabet consists of two states of a qubit system, it is proved that a von Neumann (orthogonal) measurement is sufficient to reach the accessible information.
