Optimal scheme for estimating a pure qubit state via local measurements

E. Bagan, M. Baig, R. Munoz-Tapia

abstract: We present the optimal scheme for estimating a pure qubit state by means of local measurements on N identical copies. We give explicit examples for low N. For large N, we show that the fidelity saturates the collective measurement bound up to order 1/N. When the signal state lays on a meridian of the Bloch sphere, we show that this can be achieved without classical communication.
