Minimax quantum state estimation under Bregman divergence

We investigate minimax estimators for quantum state tomography under general Bregman divergences. First, generalizing the work of Koyama et al. [Entropy 19, 618 (2017)] for relative entropy, we find that given any estimator for a quantum state, there always exists a sequence of Bayes estimators that...
