• Abstract: The relation between projective measurements and generalized quantum measurements is a fundamental problem in quantum physics, and clarifying this issue is also important to quantum technologies. While it has been intuitively known that projective measurements can be constructed from sequential generalized or weak measurements, there is still lack of a proof of this hypothesis in general cases. Here we prove it from the perspective of quantum channels. We show that projective measurements naturally arise from sequential generalized measurements in the asymptotic limit. Specifically, a selective projective measurement arises from a set of typical sequences of selective generalized measurements. We provide an explicit scheme to construct projective measurements of a quantum system with sequential generalized measurements. Remarkably, a single ancilla qubit is sufficient to mediate sequential generalized measurements for constructing arbitrary projective measurements of a generic system.

  We propose a mathematically rigorous and physically well-grounded characterization of intrinsic back-action in quantum measurement processes. Our framework provides a detailed analysis by explicitly decomposing the disturbance effects into two distinct contributions. Our rule establishes quantitaive connections between intrinsic disturbance and other fundamental quantum features, such as randomness, uncertainty, and information gain.

  We present an approach where the quantum computation is supplemented by a classical result. Taking advantage of its anticipation also leads to a new type of quantum measurements, which we call anticipative. In an anticipative quantum measurement the combination of the results from classical and quantum computations happens only in the end.

• Certification of a Nonprojective Qudit Measurement using Multiport Beamsplitters [0.0]
  Generalised quantum measurements go beyond the textbook concept of a projection onto an orthonormal basis in Hilbert space. Here, we use state-of-the-art multicore optical fiber technology to build multiport beamsplitters and faithfully implement a seven-outcome generalised measurement in a four-dimensional Hilbert space with a fidelity of $99.7%$. We apply it to perform an elementary quantum communication task and demonstrate a success rate that cannot be simulated in any conceivable quantum protocol based on standard projective measurements on quantum messages of the same dimension.

• Relating measurement disturbance, information and orthogonality [0.38073142980732994]
  In the general theory of quantum measurement, one associates a positive semidefinite operator on a $d$-dimensional Hilbert space to each of the $n$ possible outcomes of an arbitrary measurement. This restriction allows us to more precisely state the quantum adage: information gain of a system is always accompanied by unavoidable disturbance. We identify symmetric informationally complete quantum measurements as the unique quantum analogs of a perfectly informative and nondisturbing classical ideal measurement.
