  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.

  4. Measurement in quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

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

    The formula for this calculation is known as the Born rule. For example, a quantum particle like an electron can be described by a quantum state that associates to each point in space a complex number called a probability amplitude. Applying the Born rule to these amplitudes gives the probabilities that the electron will be found in one region ...

  5. Mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_formulation...

    The mathematical formulations of quantum mechanics are those mathematical formalisms that permit a rigorous description of quantum mechanics.This mathematical formalism uses mainly a part of functional analysis, especially Hilbert spaces, which are a kind of linear space.

  6. Back-of-the-envelope calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-of-the-envelope...

    In the natural sciences, back-of-the-envelope calculation is often associated with physicist Enrico Fermi, [2] who was well known for emphasizing ways that complex scientific equations could be approximated within an order of magnitude using simple calculations.

  7. Bures metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bures_metric

    In mathematics, in the area of quantum information geometry, the Bures metric (named after Donald Bures) [1] or Helstrom metric (named after Carl W. Helstrom) [2] defines an infinitesimal distance between density matrix operators defining quantum states.

  8. 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).

  9. Multifidelity simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifidelity_simulation

    Low-fidelity data (LoFi) includes any data that was produced by a person or Stochastic Process that deviates from the real-world system of interest. For example, LoFi data can be produced by models of a physical system that use approximations to simulate the system, rather than modeling the system in an exhaustive manner.
