Accessible information in quantum measurement

N. J. Cerf, C. Adami

abstract: The amount of information that can be accessed via measurement of a quantum system prepared in different states is limited by the Kholevo bound. We present a simple proof of this theorem and its extension to sequential measurements based on the properties of quantum conditional and mutual entropies. The proof relies on a minimal physical model of the measurement which does not assume environmental decoherence, and has an intuitive diagrammatic representation.
