Quantum Process Randomness
arXiv:1903.03564 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2020.127024
Abstract
We study the optimization of any quantum process by minimizing the "randomness" in the measurement result at the output of that quantum process. We conceptualize and propose a measure of such randomness and inquire whether an optimization of the quantum process based on that measure, can reach the point where the process operates with maximum fidelity. We consider approximate quantum cloning and teleportation processes, and find, in particular, that the optimal approximate state-dependent quantum cloning machine obtained by maximizing the fidelity is different from that obtained by minimizing the randomness.
