Abstract

The operationally defined invariant information introduced by Brukner and Zeilinger is related to the problem of estimation of quantum states. It quantifies how the estimated states differ in average from the true states in the sense of Hilbert‐Schmidt norm. This information evaluates the quality of the measurement and data treatment adopted. Its ultimate limitation is given by the trace of inverse of Fisher information matrix.
