Quantum measurement bounds beyond the uncertainty relations

Quantum Physics 2012-07-11 v1

Abstract

We give a bound to the precision in the estimation of a parameter in terms of the expectation value of an observable. It is an extension of the Cramer-Rao inequality and of the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, where the estimation precision is typically bounded in terms of the variance of an observable.
