• Abstract: A quantum system is usually measured through observations performed on a second quantum system, or meter, to which it is coupled. In this scenario, fundamental limitations arise as stated by the celebrated Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem and its generalizations, predicting an upper-bound on the measurement's accuracy (Ozawa's bound). Here, we show it is possible to saturate this fundamental bound. We propose a simple interferometric setup, arguably within reach of present technology, in which a flying particle (the quantum meter) is used to measure the state of a qubit (the target system). We show that the bound can be saturated and that this happens only if the flying particle is prepared in a Gaussian wavepacket.

  We will propose a scheme for measuring quantum entanglement, which starts with treating the set of quantum separable states as a convex hull of quantum separable pure states. Although a large amount of data is required in the measurement process, this method is not only applicable to 2-qubit quantum states, but also a entanglement measurement method that can be applied to any dimension and any fragment.

  We show that when the quantum state is an eigenstate of an operator $A$, observables $G$ which are completely off-diagonal have purely quantum fluctuations. This property holds regardless of the purity of the quantum state, and it implies that off-diagonal fluctuations represent a metrological resource for phase estimation.
