Conditional SIC-POVMs

Dėnes Petz, László Ruppert, András Szántó · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 2013

In this paper, we examine a generalization of the symmetric informationally complete POVMs. SIC-POVMs are the optimal measurements for full quantum tomography, but if some parameters of the density matrix are known, then the optimal SIC POVM should be orthogonal to a subspace. This gives the concept of the conditional SIC-POVM. The existence is not known in general, but we give a result in the special case when the diagonal is known of the density matrix.
