A strategy is proposed to calculate the information gain of the measuring device as the coupling strength is a variable. For qubit systems, we prove that the information gain increases monotonically with the coupling strength. It is obtained that the information gain of the projective measurement along the x-direction reduces with the increasing of the measurement strength along the z-direction, and a complementarity of information gain in the measurements along those two directions is presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-05-05T13:11:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.67.-a", "03.65.Ta" ], "keywords": [ "coupling strength", "quantum measurements", "measuring device", "qubit systems", "quantum system" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2012, "month": "Apr", "volume": 85, "number": 4, "pages": "042330" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvA..85d2330Z" } } }
