Standard quantum measurements are projective. However, the full scope of quantum measurements is represented by positive operator-valued measures (POVMs) and many of these break the limitations of projective measurements as resources in…

We study the effects of preparation of input states in a quantum tomography experiment. We show that maps arising from a quantum process tomography experiment (called process maps) differ from the well know dynamical maps. The difference…
In the iconic measurements of atomic spin-1/2 or photon polarization, one employs two spatially separated and noninteracting detectors. Each detector is binary, registering the presence or absence of the atom or the photon. For measurements…
