Information amplification via postselection: A parameter estimation perspective
arXiv:1306.2409 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.88.042116
Abstract
It is known that weak measurement can significantly amplify the mean of measurement results, sometimes out of the range limited in usual quantum measurement. This fact, as actively demonstrated recently in both theory and experiment, implies the possibility to estimate a very small parameter using the weak measurement technique. But does the weak measurement really bring about the increase of "information" for parameter estimation? This paper clarifies that, in a general situation, the answer is NO; more precisely, the weak measurement cannot further decrease the lower bound of the estimation error, i.e. the so-called Cramér-Rao bound, which is proportional to the inverse of the quantum Fisher information.
This is the journal published version to the preprint arXiv:1306.2409: "Does the post-selection amplify the information for parameter estimation?"
