We propose an entropic measure of non-classical correlations in general mixed states of fermion systems, based on the loss of information due to the unread measurement of the occupancy of single particle states of a given basis. When…
We address quantum estimation in situations where one has at disposal data from the measurement of an incomplete set of observables and some a priori information on the state itself. By expressing the a priori information in terms of a bias…
Incompatibility of certain measurements -- impossibility of obtaining deterministic outcomes simultaneously -- is a well known property of quantum mechanics. This feature can be utilized in many contexts, ranging from Bell inequalities to…
Additive measures for information and disturbance in quantum measurements of a system are defined from well-known multiplicative measures such as estimation and operation fidelities using a logarithm. This is motivated by the fact that…
We describe an optimized, self-correcting procedure for the Bayesian inference of pure quantum states. By analyzing the history of measurement outcomes at each step, the procedure returns the most likely pure state, as well as the optimal…
In the framework of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs), a measurement in one basis gives \emph{no information} about the outcomes of measurements in another basis. Here, we relax the no-information condition by allowing the $d$ outcomes to be…
Quantum sensing with undetected photons is a technique where photons of one wavelength probe a sample, but information is extracted by measuring photons of another wavelength that never interacts with the sample. This has seen significant…

We consider 1-qubit mixed quantum state estimation by adaptively updating measurements according to previously obtained outcomes and measurement settings. Updates are determined by the average-variance-optimality (A-optimality) criterion,…
Optimal measurements for quantum multiparameter estimation are complicated by the uncertainty principle. Generally, there is a trade-off between the precision with which different parameters can be simultaneously estimated. The task of…
We show that quantum state tomography with perfect knowledge of the measurement apparatus proves to be, in some instances, inferior to strategies discarding all information about the measurement at hand, as in the case of data pattern…
We show that information gain in a qubit measurement is optimal under a Von Neumann measurement. For an initially mixed apparatus kept in touch with a qubit, the conditions for achieving the equality sign of Holevo bound on the information…
The present short review article illustrates the latest theoretical developments on quantum tomography, regarding general optimization methods for both data-processing and setup. The basic theoretical tool is the informationally complete…
In a unified framework, we obtain two-sided estimates of the following quantities of interest in quantum information theory: 1.The minimum-error distinguishability of arbitrary ensembles of mixed quantum states. 2.The approximate…
Thermodynamic entropy is not an entirely satisfactory measure of information of a quantum state. This entropy for an unknown pure state is zero, although repeated measurements on copies of such a pure state do communicate information. In…
Quantum tomography requires repeated measurements of many copies of the physical system, all prepared by a source in the unknown state. In the limit of very many copies measured, the often-used maximum-likelihood (ML) method for converting…

We study trade-off relations in information extraction from quantum systems subject to null-result weak measurements, where the absence of a detected photon continuously updates the system state. We present a detailed analysis of qubit and…
We derive an optimal bound on the sum of entropic uncertainties of two or more observables when they are sequentially measured on the same ensemble of systems. This optimal bound is shown to be greater than or equal to the bounds derived in…
