Making measurements on single quantum systems is considered difficult, almost impossible if the state is a-priori unknown. Protective measurements suggest a possibility to measure single quantum systems and gain some new information in the…

Self-testing is the strongest form of quantum functionality verification which allows a classical user to deduce the quantum state and measurements used to produce measurement statistics. While self-testing of quantum states is…
We analyze the possible results of the most general measurement on two copies of a quantum state. We show that $\mu$ can label a set of outcomes of such measurement if and only if there is a family of completely co--positive (ccP) maps…
We report an experimental implementation of a single-qubit generalised measurement scenario(POVM) based on a quantum walk model. The qubit is encoded in a single-photon polarisation. The photon performs a quantum walk on an array of optical…
Any protocol to process quantum information has to conclude with a measurement, aimed at producing a specific set of probabilities of measurement outcomes. In this work, we investigate the time, energy and importantly the genuine quantum…

We compare and contrast the error probability and fidelity as measures of the quality of the receiver's measurement strategy for a quantum communications system. The error probability is a measure of the ability to retrieve {\it classical}…
