the speaker today is M Paris he
associate professor at the department of
physics at the University of Milan and
he got his PhD in
94 uh the University of Pia he was then
for a couple of years the nonclassic
life group of the max Society in Berlin
and then back toia as a g dog and uh he
then moved to Milan and from one year
one year ago he was
a he
Associated um so he's working in Quantum
information and Quantum Optics he's
visiting us for almost one month he will
be here until the 9 of July so anyone
interest 10 days and thank you very much
and good afternoon thank you for being
here and you know already my name and
today I would like to give a brief
review of what is called local Quantum estimation
estimation
Theory and and then I will try to to
give some general results and then to
with some examples in compr examp
examp
and uh my title is quantum estimation
for Quantum technology because the
motivation for this line of research is
physically the fact that the quantum
mass of physical
systems is usually a resource to do
something better than without the
quantities and the examples are many
from from Quantum information to high
prision measurement and mography and
what they have in common all these
examples and then Quantum the quantum
feature are a resource and we need the
characterization the precise
characterization at the quantum level of
states and operations these are the
basic the general motivation of this
line of
research um what I'm going to speak is
something specific uh this is the
the general scheme I will deal with and
the idea is the following I have a
physical system which may be a single
Cub or a set of many illat and I assume
that this physical system may be
prepared in several different Quantum
States possible Quantum States and these
are here leled by by some parameter or
set of parameters L and the overall goal
of what I'm I'm going to speak about is
to find a way way to estimate the value
of this parameter which is the same to
discriminate which is the actual
preparation of myant system among the
possible different SE
prar and the this uh the proced is to
prepare several times and my system in
the same preparation and then to perform a
a
measure and Quantum estimation Theory
provides the the tool to individ way the
optimal measurement in a sense to be
specified in the following SL and in
turn to to say which is the which are
the ultimate bounds to Precision in the
estimation of this
paramet and the state the the fact that
my physical system is been prepared in
some state may be the result of the
preparation procedur so in this case I'm
dealing with the characterization of
quum states or may be the result of the
action of some device on a
fixed known initial St in this case I'm dealing
dealing
with operation the characterization of
operations but of course the two
problems may be M into each so this is
the the
basic the basic problem I would like to
estimate the value of the parameter
leling the state of a physical system
one may wonder that the answer to this
problem is already contained in the
postulat Quant mechanics after all we
have a physical quantity what we have
learned is to measure the corresponding
observ and the ultimate Precision in
measuring this observ is set by
relations and this is of course true but
then two remarks are in order and the
first is practical uh if you need to
measure energy from time to time your
physical system the energy is not
assessed so par reason because that kind
of measurement is not
implemented and the second remarks more
fundamental and there are several
quantities of
Interest which not even in principle May
correspond to an observ entropy fory
entanglement purity of quantum State all
these quantities are nonlinear functions
of the density of so not even in
principle they may correspond with
qu and other
back and other examples are time time is
not an
observ but it's not time observ there is
no phase of the quantum illat exception
no this examples even in principle I
cannot follow the standard procedure of
measuring the observable and then look
at the observative
relation so now again look at the same
problem perhaps it looks less Tri than
before so at least it is wor to to deal
with Quantum estimation with is adding
something to standard mechanics to
answer in the general case to this
problem of
estimating and to attack the problem
let's forget Quantum Mechanics for a
while and U and see what classical
statistics is telling us about this mod
so now I have no role is a physical
system no Quantum just a physical system
and for some reason I assume that I'm
interested in measuring some parameters
some quantity and I cannot assess by
direct measurement this one I have to
resort for some reason to an indir
measurement so I'm interested in Lambda
I'm measuring something
else the problem so I preper several
times my system in the same preparation
I perform uh the measurement I have an
experimental set different value of the
quantity X and from this experimental
sample I would like to estimate the
value of this problem the problem is
naturally splited in two parts the first
is the choice of the measurement you
estimate the quantity L and the second
is the way to
treat the the experiment so I have to
measure something I choose an observ and
then I can take the mean I can take the
sign of the mean I can take the cosine
of each value and then take the mean all
this function are called
sors so the problem is splitted in two
parts the first the choice of the
measurement the second the choice of the
SD there is a fundamental result in
classical statistics which is called the
cam B Cam theor and is saying that if I
have to estimate a quantity Lambda and I
the variance which express the Precision
of this estimat proced the variance of
any unbiased estimator is bounded by
this qu m is the number of measurement
which is just statistical S and F is the
So-Cal feature information which is buil
with the conditional distribution of
what I'm measuring X conditioning to the
true value of the T
T
so here we have the the answer to the
the problem on which is the best way to
estimate the
parameter um the optimal measurement is
the measurement which gives you the
maximum of the ficient information so if
you have to compare two different
measurement you have to choose the one
with the maximum fish information which
is quantifying the sensitivity of the
your distribution you have a given value
of the parameter you have a given
distribution if you move the value of
your parameter the icial information is
quantifying how far is set your
distribution and of course this is to
compare different measurements but then
this is an inequality
inequality
and there is a second part what is an
optimal estimator the optimal estimator
is the one
saturating the uh camera one so if you
have an estimation problem uh you have
first to choose the optimum measurement
maximum feure and there is no no way no
constructive way to to be in classical
physics to be the optimum measur and the
second is to find an optimal estimator
and again we have no theor to to find
the optimal estimator but at least we
have a couple of example
and and the first example is the biut
Once you have chosen a measurement and
then you have to choose the estimator
how to treat to process data and uh
hopefully with with the idea of
saturating the FR inequality and the
first estimator which at least in the
Astic region is always optimal which
means it saturates inquality is the bi
estimator if you measure the quantity
X conditioned to the value of the
parameter then you are interested in the
in the in the distribution of the
outcomes the experimental sample and you
follow the standard bian recipe and the
bian estimator is just the mean of the
posterior distribution there is a nice
theorem the plus theorem says that in
the asymptotic limit if you perform any
measurement the posterior distribution
is a gan a gaan with a variance which is
the saturation of the
camera so at least in the Astic region
there is always an an optimal
and there is another example which is
the maximum likelihood estimators and
again in the asymptotic region and you
have optimality in the sense of
saturation of the camer okay this is
what is known from classical
statistics you have to maximize the fish
information no no k no constructing way
to do this and then you have to find an
optimal estimator at least in thetic we
know that there
are now let's go one try to to reproduce
this result in the quantum and the
scheme is the same at the beginning but
now we have the B rule to to build the
conditional distribution we are
measuring an observable in general or
something general like a PM so people
know what the PM is and then we build
the probability density and
then we need to perform the derivative
in order to to build the deficient
information and this is usually done by
constructing the soal symmetric
logarithmic derivative which is a s
joint operate of the in this way with a
zero mean then you put everything in the
ficient information and you have thisch
in terms of the spectrum measure you are
performing on your system what is l l is
called a symmetric logarithmic
derivative is an operator defined
implicitly defined by this relation
of yes yes this what will be one
important one and the fact that it
depends on L give the name to local qu
estimation in I don't know if you know
something about this classical
estimation here we have two approach the
global looking for the best measurement
which is the optimal in average for all
the value of the parameters then you
have local Quantum estimation here and
then Quantum estimation here which is
looking for the op estimat for a given
value this appears to be a logical look
but I will speak about this okay and so
you will the the the ficial
bu by a set of inequalities which I will
skip immediately you arrive basically
the the CIS inequality in the in in the
space you having this nice very nice
inequality which say that the feature
information of any possible Quantum
measurement you may perform on a system
is bounded by this quantity which is
called the quantum fure
information so you have you know the
maximum of the effici the overall
maximum over the possible all all
possible measurements is given by this
quantity which depends only on the
family of quantum State you are
considering because broland is
explicitly there and the symmetric lar
derivative is built in
terms of the family of
ques so this is something which is
essentially Quantum because in classical
statistics there is no way
to find the maximum and there is not
even an indication of which is the
maximum in quantum mechanics there is a
way to find the maximum deficient
information and this is the maximum of
over all possible Quantum measurement you
you
make and so there is what is called
Quantum inequality the variance of any
Ed estimation is bounded by this one and
also there is a way to find the optimal
measurement achieving
this maximum and this is the
measurement for which the two
inequalities are saturated and I will
see the details if the measurement
satisfying this inequality in
terms the the unnown here the element of
the spectrum measure and you discover
that the optimal measurement is made of
the is the set of
projectors built with the alien state of
so over we have the answer you have the
family of quantum State you would like
to discriminate among these Quantum
States or which is the same to estimate
the parameter L the family of quantum
State and the answer is the optimal
measurement is the set of projectors
given by a state of the symmetric
logarithmic derivative and then this is
the measurement then you have to process
data but the processing of data is still
toxic the qu what we are quantizing is
just the measurement but then the the
post processing you may use uh whatever
uh estimator you you know is optimal in
this case at least we know that the B
estimator and the maximum life estimat
they are so this is the full solution uh
look for this then then we have model by
model uh we have to check if this is can
be implemented in practice but at least
we have the the complete
head and now as somebody was noticing
before the optimal measurement of the
quantity Lambda depends on Lambda itself
this appears to be a
logical and this is common is not it's
not essential Quantum is the point of
loc ofation Theory and how this can be
can be adapted the first is to perform
the feedback ass system measurement or
even simply more simply uh just
choose a measurement perhaps given by
the the measurement provided by global
Quantum estimation Theory have a rough
estimate of the parameter on a small
fraction of copy you have a disposal and
then perform the optimal measurement
because you have an idea or which is the
value of the parameter and then you may
implement the measurement of
given by this recipe of course you have
to be sure that this
iterative procedure is converging and
for this there are no differ and you
have to check model by mod and
fortunately enough all the examples that
we have investigated this convergence is
ur but for this we are not human and
then there was another a possible question
question
about um all this estimation procedure
is performed with the assumption that we
have several repeated preparations of
our Quantum State we perform sequential
measurements one may wonder whether
entangled measure on on a global
preparation may be more convenient at
least for cubits this is not true for
this we have a theor proved by g m in 2000
2000
that there is no gain in using a
time and so for the estimation of a
single parameter uh this is the global
Optimum even
considering uh enti
so
okay so how to solve an estimation
problem you have the family of quantum
State at first you have to solve this
equation to find the symmetric
logarithmic derivative and then plug
into the quantum FAL information this is
is telling you which is the best
measurement and this is telling you
which is the ultimate Precision to the
estimation of the these are operatorial
solution because this is a y like
equation but of course in practice you
almost never using this this
construction what you you use it force
it to do
is to diagonalize the family of quantum
State both the the value and the vectors
depends on the quantity Lambda and then
you plug this in the previous formula
you have General formulas for the
symmetric lari and the quantum fish
information this is this is nice because
you have two pieces
and the the idea is to maximize the
fishal information and this is called
the classical part of the quantum ficial
information this is called the quantum
part why because this is is measuring
how the a values of your of your state
depends on the quantity of L and this
is capturing the dependence on the
vectors now some example perhaps clarify
some some of the meaning of this so the
simplest example unitary family of
quantum State you have some known State
then you are pering the state with a
unitary peration this is the generator
of the perturbation this is the quantity
of interest if G is antonian this is
time if G is the number of photons this
is a phase and so on and so a shift a
general shift
parameter and the symmetric logarithm
derivative is covariant the problem is
covariant by definition and so this is
the General expression and this is the
general expression from the quantum F
information there is no classical part
because the peration is unitary and the
quantum Fusion information is
independent on the value of the
parameter because of the coal so you can
measure with the same Precision all the
possible value of the now let's write
the car bound uh and the first example
when the the initial state is view if
you perform the calculation when the
initial state is pure you end up with
the fact that the quantum ficial
information is four times the
fluctuations of the generator you plug
this into the camera around and you
arrive at this relation this is quite
appealing for a physicist because as a
firm of an uncertainty relation but this
is not an uncertainty relation this is
the cam this is an operator but this is
a general
parameter so um perhaps you have seen in
the literat some aristic uncertainty
relation for time or for phase and uh
they cannot be prop uncertainty relation
because they they are not observable and
what is uh doing for us the camer bound
is to go to give a firm statistical
ground to
thisis because this is very also when
Lambda is not does not correspond to an
Ober and when the initial state is mixed
we have two pieces this is the same as
before the this piece and then we have
something which depends on the F on the
fact that we are dealing with M also
this is nice this is not been pursued in
the literature but this is nice anyway
and because it is an answer to the long
standing debate about the origin of
noise in a measurement uh which is the
part of the noise depending on Quantum
fluctuation and which is the part of the
noise coming from classical fluctuation
here we have natural way to separate the
two contributions this is when the
initial sa is pure so this
is quantum Mon and this is the
statistical fluctuation in the
preparation okay then when you have a
your Quantum fure information you may be
the signal to no ration to to quantify
in way the estimability of the parameter
and this is the ratio between the value
of the parameter and the noise and of
course the signal to noise of any
possible measurement is bounded by what
we may call the quantum signal noise ra
and this you may be the several quantity
as the number of measurement to achieve
some some some even relative
combinations different figures of Merit
to to quantify
the estimability of the parameter and by
this you discover that for example if
you have a a unitary parameter and then
we have already discovered that the
quantum F information is independent on
the value of parameter and so the the
the quantum signal is is Vanishing for
Vanishing which means that three thing
if you have a parameter and the
Precision is constant
uh well not depending on whether the the
parameter is large or small then this
means that this parameter is
in badly estimated because when it is
small the error it remains large but
this is not a general is a feature of VI
T but it is not a general feature I have
an example and this is my first example of
of
applications and supposed to
have and illat which is modeling the
light a single model the ration field
and you put your uh your light beam in a
noisy Channel which means the the
dynamical equation is the master
equation you put your oscillator in
interaction with the bath of them
oscillator at zero temperature and theal
evolution is this master equation where
this is the relation with The Dumping of
the ch and this is the blood operator
and if you are interested in
characterizing the channel so in
estimating the loss parameter what you
can do is to prove to send some some
Pro State and then to perform
measurement on the output State this is
nice because this is a good model for
absorption of light beam and for
propagation with noise each at least
when the temperature is very low you
don't have teral contribution if you
apply the Machinery of quantum
estimation Theory you discover that the
variance of the optimal estimator which
is achieved when here you perform some
some photon number detection and some
gaan operation is bounded by this one
and this is nice because the cam bound
says that the variance is proportional
to the loss parameter itself so also
when the loss parameter is very small
you may hope
to estimate the L with high
position because the the the
noise is is going to zero together with
the value of the time this is not
countering think of the probability of
flipping a coin the variance of of
thean distribution and the variance of
the event is going to zero together with
probability is a similar to
this then another example and the
estimation of the phase in the presence
of pH diffusion here the
parameter is unitary again a single mode
radiation field and you interested in in
estimating the pH sheet perhaps coming
from from a different Optical path in
Teeter and you assume that uh there is
some noise phase diffusion gausian phase
diffusion here so that the measurement
scheme is the following you have an
initial State a know initial State then
you perform the phase shift your inter
meter here and then perhap some noise
before the measurement but you may
exchange this because the noise and and
the and the perturbation
they and when there is no noise the
maximum of the of the ficial information
is known to be achieved using here soal
squeeze State The Squeeze vacuum and is
proportional to the square of the energy
so the
the uncertainty in the in the estimation
of the phase may be May decrease one
over and square when n is the number the
mean number of What's happen when the
you have a phase phase diffusion and of
course from the form of the noisy
channel of the phase diffusion you
expect some dependence on on the square
root of En on the square of energy
multiplied by the noise parameter and
this is captured by by the analysis with
with efficient information because we
discover a scaling load for the fish
information and for the squeezing
fraction U when you have no
noise The Squeeze infrction is one
because the op squeeze vacuum and then
when you have noise you cannot
appreciate the advantages of squeezing
it so the squeeing fraction is
decreasing and and there other results you
you
discover with with a tool from Quantum
estimation Theory and to perform a Bine
detection measure the field quadrature
at the output is nearly optimal at least
when the noise is very small was very
high so in this case uh the optimal
measurement cannot be implemented but at
least you have a benchmark to judge what
can be done in qu which is detection
basically or or photo detection which in
this case is not is not use
now uh for the I mentioned at the
beginning that this may be applied also
when the set of
parameters when the states are led by a
set of parameters rather than a single
parameter so there is an extension to
the multiparameter case it's quite
straightforward instead of of the fure
information you have the quantum fish
information metrix and the elements are
buil uh with
building and a symmetric logarithmic
derivative for each
parameter and the analog of the bound is
given for the ciance of the estimator in
general this inequality is not
achievable is not ATT is a real is a
matrix inquality so cannot be achieved
in general but if you have a
multiparameter problem and you are
interested in the estimating a single
parameter and fixed value of the other
parameters then you have this
generalized PR and this is achievable in
and why I'm mentioning this because this
is the typical problem when you want to
estimate entanglement
of in general you you would like to
estimate entanglement but there are
other parameters governing States Other
M Elements which are relevant for the
preparation of your Quantum state so you
have just this this kind of problem and
to introduce the problem of estimation
entanglement just mentioned the simplest
case you have a pure State and we have
here we have a single parameter and the
entanglement is a monot with q and in
this case um you apply the Machinery of
quantum machine Theory and you arrive at
this expression for the the quantum
signal to no solution and the meaning of
this is uh is here
and the quantum fure information is
increasing with enang lement and
diverges for maximal which means that if
you have a family of sa then when theang
is very large close to one to Infinity
depending on the range of your measure
and then can be estimated with high
Precision this is a good news because if
you are interested in in a device
preparing a tangle thing then of course
you would like be a to be large because
the resource and so you have your device
preparing the state you would like to
check if you have prepared maximum St or
not your is large and you perform the optimal
optimal
measurement VI by by by Quantum
estimation Theory and you expect an
estimation very
precise and so you may improve your
generation scheme because the estimation
is very
conversely when the anang is low then
the quantum information is low and so
estimation of is inherently inent so the
error in estimating the value is very
large when theang is and this is quite
General feature depends on the dimension
of space whether you have Cubit cued or
continuous variables but the general
feature is that when the is larger can be
be
estimated very you know very that is
valid for any property this
green not only for
for
um estimation of a small values of anything
anything
is well not for for the unitary case
definitely but when I was speaking about
the the L parameter of the channel then
was the opposite the noise was scaling
the parameters so in that case that's not
not
true uh usually you have fixed the
variance of your exat SK set so of
course if the is more this is but this
is the was not granted from the very
beginning because this is linear
function of the so I would say this is a
result I see
unfortunately I would have preferred
another result when the can be estimated
in a good way the whole range but this
is not the case
and this is the experimental
implementation of this made at National
metrological Institute in in Torino they
are able to prepare this family of State
this is a maximally entang state of two
can be a maxim state of any any uh
superposition of two photons of vertical
andiz polarization so this is a the
polarization in States so they they can
tune uh both the
parameters the the balance of the two
components here and the mixing parameter
because what do you have in a
real device for preparing Timeless state
is something mixing the the ESS state
with a mixture
mixture
and what we had done is to look for an
estimator a real estimator built with
some some interference and visibility
measurement and what we have discovered
that optimal estimation is
possible and if you perform some
combination here of visibility
measurement you have an estimator and
this estimator is saturating the cam so
optimal estimation of anang is
possible and the result are here so here
is the estimated value versus the true
value of
entanglement obtained because the Peter
can be estimated independently and um
and in fact we have an error also on the
true value and the gray area is the
camera B and the blue points and line
are the the the experimental
determination together with the ARs so
the results is saying that optimal
estimation of entanglement is possible
but of course when the entanglement is
very large the estimation is very good
which means that the AR bars are small
and then when en is small the the the
estimation here bu very so but this is a
a property of entanglement so the good
news is that optimal estimation is
possible and the bad news that
entanglement is
inherent uh inefficiently
inefficiently
estimated then my few last
slides a connection with the quantum phase
phase Transitions
Transitions
and so in General the phase transitions
in a physical system is associated with
some strong change in some Rel Observer
so you connect the change the state of
the system with the change of some microscopic
microscopic
parameter and Quantum in Quantum phase
transition uh you expect that to have a strong
strong
departure from the initial Point density
mat so if you have the ground state of
the system and you say and you say that
this system is experiencing a Quantum
transition you expect the ground state
to change
very and you expect this to be
Quantified in term of some distance
between states in the
interace and uh this approach was
followed by by zalan who works at the
isi foundation few years ago to rephrase
to consider the problem of identifying
one to transition instead of
using a microscopic parameter use a
distance between
Quantum some kind of geometric approach to
to
Quantum and for example you may quantify
this by soal burus distance between
Quantum SES which is built in terms of
fidelity if you consider two uh ground
stes of a g even many body system and
you change the parameters of the
interaction of the preparation or the
temperature whatever then you may
quantify the distance between the two
different ground States infinitesimally
close ground states by by the tensor
metc of of the L
distance now why this is connected qu
estimation because this the answer is in this
this
and when you have a set of parameters
classical set of parameter you may IND
use a statistical
differential manifold by considering the
measurement to estimate the set of
parameter and the fure metric in the
multiparametric case I was mentioning is
providing a metric the fish Quantum
fure Matrix is providing a metric for
this statistical mag but the same can be
done if you map the set of parameter
into a family of qu St this was
our initial starting point to Define quantum
quantum
estimation and here in the manifold of
quantum State you have distances and the
connection in between the two approaches
is just the optimization if you optimize
of all possible Quantum measurement you
are performing here then you arrive at
the quantum fish metric and the result
is that the quantum fion metc is just
proportional to the Tens metc coming
from the distance
so yes just as calculation what is
saying is that the buis metric is the
among the different Matrix you may
Define on the manifold Quantum State the
BL Matrix is capturing the statistical
distinguishability the other distan is
perhaps capturing something else but the
statistical distinguish term of
measurement is captured by the
the
and this is telling you something which
is the role quite trivial that if you
have a parameter leveling the ground
state of a b body system then the
estimation of this parameter is very
effective at critical points this is
something it sounds but then we have
some some analytical proof of of this
intuition and in fact you May I'm
skipping details but you may perform
analysis on some super extensive
behavior of the of the of the quantum
ficient information U respect to the
size of the system of the temperature uh
say I mean quantify this this this
statement that estimation is very
affecting a critical point just an
example before before going to the end
take the the simplest example the easing
model with the transer transverse
field and suppose you would like to to
estimate the cing Conant you have a
chain of spins and you want to
characterize the system which means to
to estimate the value of the
C and what you discover that the quantum
Fusion information at zero temperature
is maximized at the P point for any this
is the result because for final size
this is not a critical point what is
called the critical points you have only
the teram but here the result is that
even when the size is fin the quantum
fishal information is maximized at a
same the critical point and you have a
super extensive behavior of the quantum
feure information and another nice
results I would say is that one may
Wonder but the the measurement achieving
this Quant ficial information is visible
in general no is a licated expression in
terms of the symmetric L derivative does
not correspond to something may be
implemented in practice what you can
measure on a spin chain is the the total
magnetization this can be measured and
what what you discover as from the the
ratio the fishal information of this
measurement to the quantum fishal
information then at least when the
coupling is not too small the ra is one
so also in this case in some regimes you
have that the C BS can be achieved so
optimal estimation can be can be
achieved so sumary
sumary
um let's make this
short um Quantum estimation is a tool
for Quantum technology because there are
several quantity of Interest which are
not corresponding to obser so we need
something more that hos quantum
mechanics to attack the problem
and the recipe is quite clear and you
have also benefit of being Quantum that
you know the maximum efficient
information and you know you have the
full recipe to arrive at the optimal
estimation and either to implement the
optimation scheme or to use it as a
benchmark to to judge what can be
implemented on your
system and and then there are few few
few more results about the theability of
the parameter
and about this is me not explored I have
no time to present result about the the
the classical and Quantum contribution
much a good measure of
this noise
ratio is the Mand parameter Factor
can you relate that to to the quantum
information some connection
connection
um at least yes well of course on a
restricted set of physical
system basically the radiation Fe yes
where the final Factor has an immediate
meaning in terms of classicality and
classicality yes in that case yes in
general uh in general no because the
final factor for a fin dimensional
system is not immediately related to any
Quantum so but for the radiation field
for the radiation field um yeah
definitely the answer is yes I don't
know the complete answer but I'm quite sure
they question
question
I like just at the very beginning just to
to
clarify you CH a physical meaning just
repeating you already told about this
inequality you pass okay about this F of
is okay the fish the fish this is a this
is the find
here yes with theal probab yes so the
ficial information can be written
evaluated once you have chosen a
measure I all the possible measurements
you may perform on a system you choose
one and then the uh the
Precision in the estimation of a given
parameter starting from that
sample measurement is ruled by the
camer you want to maximize
this and
the other inequality the quantum
inquality says
that choose one measurement and choose
another one you compare that but the
ficial information of any measurement
you may perform a Quantum system is
anyway bounded by this
qu so if you choose a measurement whose
FAL information is equal to the quantum
F information then you you cannot do
so it's just saying
that um this is nice
because basically the set of quantum
measurements is well
characterized you have S Spectrum
measure of
Po uh the set of classical measurements
performed on a physical system is not well
well
characterized how to what what is a a a
measurement in classical physics is a
distribution but then a distribution in which
which
space uh which constraints you put on on
your distribution to be physically
admissible it's not completely clear
there is no a classical theory of
measurement in this sense in quantum
mechanics we have quantum theory of
measurement and we have the full characterization
characterization
p and this fact um made possible to
write down two to obtain the the the the
ultimate maximum of deficient
consequence can I
have can you say something more about
yes of course
here of course uh this is Val for
is so this is the starting point and
then you ask about the contribution to
noise so when the state is pure
everything is quite clear and this is
what you obtain when the state is
it's nice because we have a
sum but it's bad
because this superator form is not easy
to enter this is why everybody is saying
very nice but then nobody's working with
this subject because nobody found a way
to deal with all this
operatorial and so on and so for so in
principle the answer is there but then
thank
you just the last you have shown this
you this you expect anything s for continu
variables just a very specific results
no yes and no we already um did on
paper the attack the problem we know we
know the bounds we know
everything but then in that case
the what can be done in a lab for the
moment is not achieving the
maximum so you have a way to estimate
entanglement is much more noisy than the
ultimate B
provided by by the
C so for the moment of course enang for
can be estimated but nobody found a way
Sate because the set of possible
measurements on the continuous variables
say are is restricted I mean you have an
infinite number of parameters and then
you may just count photons or measure of
the field no
they any other
