• Abstract: Most measurements are designed to tell you which of several alternatives have occurred, but it is also possible to make measurements that eliminate possibilities and tell you an alternative that did not occur. Measurements of this type have proven useful in quantum foundations and in quantum cryptography. Here we show how group theory can be used to design such measurements. After some general considerations, we focus on the case of measurements on two-qubit states that eliminate one state. We then move on to construct measurements that eliminate two three-qubit states and four four-qubit states. A condition that constrains the construction of elimination measurements is then presented. Finally, in an appendix, we briefly consider the case of elimination measurements with failure probabilities and an elimination measurement on $n$-qubit states.

• Measurement sharpness and disturbance tradeoff [0.0]
  Postmeasurement states for a given measurement are not unique and highly rely on the chosen measurement model. We show there are different tradeoff relations between the sharpness of this measurement and the average fidelity of the premeasurement and postmeasurement state spaces. In particular, we show there are different tradeoff relations between the sharpness of this measurement and the average fidelity of the premeasurement and postmeasurement state spaces.

Our results open new horizons for measurement-enabled quantum control of many-body topological states.

• Quantum State Discrimination via Repeated Measurements and the Rule of Three [0.0]
  We consider minimum error state discrimination for mutually orthogonal states with a noisy measurement. We identify a 'rule of three', where no change in probability is obtained from a second measurement but there is noticeable improvement after a third. We also provide partial results for $N$-valued commutative measurements where the rule of three remains, but the general pattern present in binary measurements is no longer satisfied.
