We define a local Riemannian metric tensor in the manifold of Gaussian channels and the distance that it induces. We adopt an information-geometric approach and define a metric derived from the Bures-Fisher metric for quantum states. The…

A model in statistical mechanics, characterised by the corresponding Gibbs measure, is a subset of the totality of probability distributions on the phase space. The shape of this subset, i.e., the geometry, then plays an important role in…

The quantum Fisher information is a Riemannian metric, defined on the state space of a quantum system, which is symmetric and decreasing under stochastic mappings. Contrary to the classical case such a metric is not unique. We complete the…
