Group theoretic structures in the estimation of an unknown unitary transformation
Giulio Chiribella · Journal of Physics Conference Series · 2011
This paper presents a series of general results about the optimal estimation of physical transformations in a given symmetry group. In particular, it is shown how the different symmetries of the problem determine different properties of the optimal estimation strategy. The paper also contains a discussion about the role of entanglement between the representation and multiplicity spaces and about the optimality of square-root measurements.
