Minimax Estimation of Quantum States Based on the Latent Information Priors

We develop priors for Bayes estimation of quantum states that provide minimax state estimation. The relative entropy from the true density operator to a predictive density operator is adopted as a loss function. The proposed prior maximizes the conditional Holevo mutual information, and it is a quan...
