A Positive Operator Valued Measure (POVM) is a map $F:\mathcal{B}(X)\to\mathcal{L}_s^+(\mathcal{H})$ from the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of a topological space $X$ to the space of positive self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space…

Measurements on quantum channels are described by so-called process operator valued measures, or process POVMs. We study implementing schemes of extremal process POVMs. As it turns out, the corresponding measurement must satisfy certain…

We show that a one-dimensional discrete time quantum walk can be used to implement a generalized measurement in terms of positive operator value measure (POVM) on a single qubit. More precisely, we show that for a single qubit any set of…

The optimal measurement that discriminates nonorthogonal quantum states with fixed rates of inconclusive outcomes (FRIO) can be decomposed into an assisted separation of the inputs, yielding conclusive and inconclusive outputs, followed by…

It is well-known in quantum information theory that a positive operator valued measure (POVM) is the most general kind of quantum measurement. Mathematically, a quantum probability is a normalised POVM, namely a function on certain subsets…

In quantum mechanics the statistics of the outcomes of a measuring apparatus is described by a positive operator valued measure (POVM). A quantum channel transforms POVM's into POVM's, generally irreversibly, thus loosing some of the…
