Inspired by regularization techniques in statistics and machine learning, we study complementary composite minimization in the stochastic setting. This problem corresponds to the minimization of the sum of a (weakly) smooth function endowed…
Assume that we have a random sample from an absolutely continuous distribution (univariate, or multivariate) with a known functional form and some unknown parameters. In this paper, we have studied several parametric tests based on…
Throughout quantum mechanics there is statistical balance, in the collective response of an ensemble of systems to differing measurement types. Statistical balance is a core feature of quantum mechanics, underlying quantum mechanical…
Measurement is of central interest in quantum mechanics as it provides the link between the quantum world and the world of everyday experience. One of the features of the latter is its robust, objective character, contrasting the delicate…
Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a von Neumann algebra, $\mathcal{I}$ a weak-operator dense ideal in $\mathcal{M}$, and $\Phi$ a unitarily invariant $\|\cdot\|$-dominating norm on $\mathcal{I}$. In this paper, we provide a necessary and sufficient…
In this article, we introduce a new form of quantum selective measurement in which the von Neumann projection postulate is replaced by quasilinear evolution, governed by a nonlinear generalization of the von Neumann equation. We demonstrate…
We investigate four partial orderings on the space of quantum measurements (i.e on POVMs or positive operator valued measures), describing four notions of coarse/fine-ness of measurement. These are the partial orderings induced by: (1)…
In this paper we consider the problem of unambiguous discrimination between a set of linearly independent pure quantum states. We show that the design of the optimal measurement that minimizes the probability of an inconclusive result can…
Under mild Markov assumptions, sufficient conditions for strict minimax optimality of sequential tests for multiple hypotheses under distributional uncertainty are derived. First, the design of optimal sequential tests for simple hypotheses…
A finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ with a faithful normal trace $% \tau $ has Haagerup's approximation property (relative to a von Neumann subalgebra $\mathcal{N}$) if there exists a net $(\phi_{\alpha})_{\alpha\in \Lambda}$ of…
We study a novel class of affine invariant and consistent tests for normality in any dimension. The tests are based on a characterization of the standard $d$-variate normal distribution as the unique solution of an initial value problem of…
We introduce the post-processing preorder and equivalence relations for general measurements on a possibly infinite-dimensional general probabilistic theory described by an order unit Banach space $E$ with a Banach predual. We define the…
We define a quantum entropy conditioned on post-selection which has the von Neumann entropy of pure states as a special case. This conditional entropy can take negative values which is consistent with part of a quantum system containing…
To elucidate ideal measurements, one must explain how individual events emerge from quantum theory which deals with statistical ensembles, and how different may end up with different final states. This so-called "measurement problem" is…
In order to analyze joint measurability of given measurements, we introduce a Hermitian operator-valued measure, called $W$-measure, such that it has marginals of positive operator-valued measures (POVMs). We prove that ${W}$-measure is a…
Coherence is a cornerstone of quantum theory and a prerequisite for the advantage of quantum technologies. In recent work, the notion of coherence with respect to a general quantum measurement (POVM) was introduced and embedded into a…
The notion of index for inclusions of von Neumann algebras goes back to a seminal work of Jones on subfactors of type ${I\!I}_1$. In the absence of a trace, one can still define the index of a conditional expectation associated to a…
We discuss coupling of violation of Bell's inequality and non-Kolmogorovness of statistical data in the EPR-Bohm experiment. We emphasize that nonlocalty and "death of realism" are only sufficient, but not necessary conditions of…
A sufficient statistic is a deterministic function that captures an essential property of a probabilistic function (channel, kernel). Being a sufficient statistic can be expressed nicely in terms of string diagrams, as Tobias Fritz showed…
We study the local implementation of POVMs when we require only the faithful reproduction of the statistics of the measurement outcomes for all initial states. We first demonstrate that any POVM with separable elements can be implemented by…
