  2. Fidelity of quantum states - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidelity_of_quantum_states

    Fidelity is symmetric in its arguments, i.e. F (ρ,σ) = F (σ,ρ). Note that this is not obvious from the original definition. F (ρ,σ) lies in [0,1], by the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality. F (ρ,σ) = 1 if and only if ρ = σ, since Ψ ρ = Ψ σ implies ρ = σ. So we can see that fidelity behaves almost like a metric.

  3. Measurement in quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_in_quantum...

    In quantum mechanics, each physical system is associated with a Hilbert space, each element of which represents a possible state of the physical system.The approach codified by John von Neumann represents a measurement upon a physical system by a self-adjoint operator on that Hilbert space termed an "observable".

  4. Trace distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_distance

    More explicitly, this is the quantity | ⁡ ⁡ |, with the maximization performed with respect to all possible POVMs {}. To understand why this maximum equals the trace distance between the states, note that there is a unique decomposition ρ − σ = P − Q {\displaystyle \rho -\sigma =P-Q} with P , Q ≥ 0 {\displaystyle P,Q\geq 0} positive ...

  5. Unitary transformation (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_transformation...

    In quantum mechanics, the Schrödinger equation describes how a system changes with time. It does this by relating changes in the state of the system to the energy in the system (given by an operator called the Hamiltonian).

  6. Quantum cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_cloning

    Quantum cloning is a process that takes an arbitrary, unknown quantum state and makes an exact copy without altering the original state in any way. Quantum cloning is forbidden by the laws of quantum mechanics as shown by the no cloning theorem, which states that there is no operation for cloning any arbitrary state | perfectly.

  7. Multifidelity simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifidelity_simulation

    However, the limitation is that the low-fidelity data may not be useful for predicting real-world expert (i.e., high-fidelity) performance due to differences between the low-fidelity simulation platform and the real-world context, or between novice and expert performance (e.g., due to training).

  8. Coherent state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherent_state

    In physics, specifically in quantum mechanics, a coherent state is the specific quantum state of the quantum harmonic oscillator, often described as a state that has dynamics most closely resembling the oscillatory behavior of a classical harmonic oscillator.
