Tight frames and rank-one quantum measurements are shown to be intimately related. In fact, the family of normalized tight frames for the space in which a quantum mechanical system lies is precisely the family of rank-one generalized…

We discuss the problem of implementing generalized measurements (POVMs) with linear optics, either based upon a static linear array or including conditional dynamics. In our approach, a given POVM shall be identified as a solution to an…
We introduce a resource monotone, the completeness stability, to quantify the quality of quantum measurements within a resource-theoretic framework. By viewing a quantum measurement as a frame, the minimum eigenvalue of a frame operator…
Recently, a novel framework for semi-device-independent quantum prepare-and-measure protocols has been proposed, based on the assumption of a limited distinguishability between the prepared quantum states. Here, we discuss the problem of…
For a quantum measurement process described by a quantum instrument $\mathcal{I}$ and a system observable corresponding to a positive-operator valued measure (POVM) $E ,$ $\mathcal{I}$ is said to conserve the information of $E$ if the joint…
We propose a recipe for constructing a SIC fiducial vector in complex Hilbert space of dimension of the form $d=n^2+3$, focussing on prime dimensions $d=p$. Such structures are shown to exist in thirteen prime dimensions of this kind, the…
We address the problem of information completeness of quantum measuremets in connection to quantum state tomography and with particular concern to quantum symplectic tomography. We put forward some non-trivial situations where…
Simple minimal but informationally complete positive operator-valued measures are constructed out of the expectation-value representation for qudits. Upon suitable modification, the procedure transforms any set of d^2 linearly independent…
The sets of after-measurement states for standard and generalized quantum measurements are compared. It is shown that for a SIC-POVM generalized measurement, the ratio of the volume of the set of after-measurement states and the volume of…
In this paper we consider the problem of constructing measurements optimized to distinguish between a collection of possibly non-orthogonal quantum states. We consider a collection of pure states and seek a positive operator-valued measure…
We design an efficient and constructive algorithm to decompose any generalized quantum measurement into a convex combination of extremal measurements. We show that if one allows for a classical post-processing step only extremal rank-1…
