Information Geometrical Characterization of Quantum Statistical Models in Quantum Estimation Theory
In this paper, we classify quantum statistical models based on their information geometric properties and the estimation error bound, known as the Holevo bound, into four different classes: classical, quasi-classical, D-invariant, and asymptotically classical models. We then characterize each model...

Summary: | In this paper, we classify quantum statistical models based on their information geometric properties and the estimation error bound, known as the Holevo bound, into four different classes: classical, quasi-classical, D-invariant, and asymptotically classical models. We then characterize each model by several equivalent conditions and discuss their properties. This result enables us to explore the relationships among these four models as well as reveals the geometrical understanding of quantum statistical models. In particular, we show that each class of model can be identified by comparing quantum Fisher metrics and the properties of the tangent spaces of the quantum statistical model. |
