Questions tagged [quantum-fisher-information]

The quantum analog of the classical Fisher information, a way of measuring the amount of information that a random observable A carries about an unknown parameter θ of a distribution that models A. The quantum Fisher information constrains the achievable precision in the statistical estimation of θ via the quantum Cramér–Rao bound.

Classical Fisher Information for 1-qubit vs 2-qubit in PennyLane

I'm attempting to examine the Classical Fisher Information (CFI) for a 1-qubit system in comparison to a 2-qubit system.(PennyLane) I anticipated that the CFI for the 2-qubit system would be double(at ...
