• Title: Entropy of Quantum Measurements
• Authors: Stan Gudder
• Abstract summary: In Section2, we provide bounds on $S_a(rho )$ and show that if $a+b$ is an effect, then $S_a+b(rho )ge S_a(rho )+S_b(rho )$. In Section3, we employ $S_a(rho )$ to define the $rho$-entropy $S_A(rho )$ for an observable $A$.

• Abstract: If $a$ is a quantum effect and $\rho$ is a state, we define the $\rho$-entropy $S_a(\rho )$ which gives the amount of uncertainty that a measurement of $a$ provides about $\rho$. The smaller $S_a(\rho )$ is, the more information a measurement of $a$ gives about $\rho$. In Section~2, we provide bounds on $S_a(\rho )$ and show that if $a+b$ is an effect, then $S_{a+b}(\rho )\ge S_a(\rho )+S_b(\rho )$. We then prove a result concerning convex mixtures of effects. We also consider sequential products of effects and their $\rho$-entropies. In Section~3, we employ $S_a(\rho )$ to define the $\rho$-entropy $S_A(\rho )$ for an observable $A$. We show that $S_A(\rho )$ directly provides the $\rho$-entropy $S_\iscript (\rho )$ for an instrument $\iscript$. We establish bounds for $S_A(\rho )$ and prove characterizations for when these bounds are obtained. These give simplified proofs of results given in the literature. We also consider $\rho$-entropies for measurement models, sequential products of observables and coarse-graining of observables. Various examples that illustrate the theory are provided.

  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

  We define the probability that an effect occurs when the system is in a state $rho$ by $P_rho (a)= tr(rho a)$. We then consider L"uders and Holevo operations. We show that two observables $B$ and $C$ are jointly commuting if and only if there exists an atomic observable $A$ such that $B=(Bmid A)$ and $C=(Cmid A)$.
