Fidelity and the communication of quantum information

Stephen M. Barnett, Claire R. Gilson, Masahide Sasaki

abstract: We compare and contrast the error probability and fidelity as measures of the quality of the receiver's measurement strategy for a quantum communications system. The error probability is a measure of the ability to retrieve {\it classical} information and the fidelity measures the retrieval of {\it quantum} information. We present the optimal measurement strategies for maximising the fidelity given a source that encodes information on the symmetric qubit-states.
