We derive several bounds on fidelity between quantum states. In particular we show that fidelity is bounded from above by a simple to compute quantity we call super--fidelity. It is analogous to another quantity called sub--fidelity. For…

We derive an exact expression for the quantumness of a Hilbert space (defined in quant-ph/0302092), and show that in composite Hilbert spaces the signal states must contain at least some entangled states in order to achieve such a…

Various fidelity measures can be defined between two quantum processes especially when at least one of them is non-unitary. In this paper we consider two such measures of state averaged process fidelity, put forward an efficient procedure…

We discuss the fidelity as a figure of merit in quantum error correction schemes. We show that when identifiable but uncorrectable errors occur as a result of the action of the channel, a common strategy that improves the fidelity actually…

A typical concept in quantum state analysis is based on the idea that states in the vicinity of some pure entangled state share the same properties; implying that states with a high fidelity must be entangled. States whose entanglement can…

We present an optimal quantum algorithm for fidelity estimation between two quantum states when one of them is pure. In particular, the (square root) fidelity of a mixed state to a pure state can be estimated to within additive error…
