• Abstract: Symmetries are a key concept to connect mathematical elegance with physical insight. We consider measurement assemblages in quantum mechanics and show how their symmetry can be described by means of the so-called discrete bundles. It turns out that many measurement assemblages used in quantum information theory as well as for studying the foundations of quantum mechanics are entirely determined by symmetry; moreover, starting from a certain symmetry group, novel types of measurement sets can be constructed. The insight gained from symmetry allows us to easily determine whether the measurements in the set are incompatible under noisy conditions, i.e., whether they can be regarded as genuinely distinct ones. In addition, symmetry enables us to identify finite sets of measurements having a high sensitivity to reveal the quantumness of distributed quantum states.

  Knowing the symmetries of a given system or state obeys or disobeys is often useful in quantum computing. We present a collection of quantum algorithms that realize projections onto the symmetric subspace. We show how projectors can be combined in a systematic way to effectively measure various projections in a single quantum circuit.

• Operational interpretation and estimation of quantum trace-norm asymmetry based on weak value measurement and some bounds [0.0]
  An important and geometrically intuitive measure of translational asymmetry of a state is given by the trace-norm asymmetry. We show that the trace-norm asymmetry is equal to the average absolute imaginary part of the weak value of the generator of the translation group optimized over all possible orthonormal bases of the Hilbert space. We then use the link between the trace-norm asymmetry and the nonreal weak value to derive the relation between the trace-norm asymmetry with other basic concepts in quantum statistics.

  In quantum mechanics, it is possible to eliminate degrees of freedom by leveraging symmetry to identify the possible physical transitions. Previous works have focused on devising quantum algorithms to ascertain symmetries by means of fidelity-based symmetry measures. We develop alternative symmetry testing quantum algorithms that are efficiently implementable on quantum computers.

  We propose symmetry-conscious randomized measurement schemes for unraveling quantum states. This can be leveraged by the symmetry-conscious randomized measurement schemes we propose, yielding clear advantages over symmetry-blind randomization. Unlike symmetry-blind randomized measurement protocols, these latter tasks can be performed without relearning symmetries via full reconstruction of the density matrix.

• Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.
