We present a generalized information-theoretic measure of synchronization in quantum systems. This measure is applicable to dynamics of anharmonic oscillators, few-level atoms, and coupled oscillator networks. Furthermore, the new measure…

We demonstrate that the concept of information offers a more complete description of complementarity than the traditional approach based on observables. We present the first experimental test of information complementarity for two-qubit…

We introduce the informational power of a quantum measurement as the maximum amount of classical information that the measurement can extract from any ensemble of quantum states. We prove the additivity by showing that the informational…
