Operational Meaning of Classical Fidelity and Path Length in Kubo–Mori–Bogoliubov Fisher Geometry

We show that the minimum entropy production in near-reversible quantum state transport along a path is a simple function of the path length measured according to the Fisher–KMB metrics. Hence, for the sharp values of path lengths, also called statistical lengths, we obtain the operational meaning to...

description We show that the minimum entropy production in near-reversible quantum state transport along a path is a simple function of the path length measured according to the Fisher–KMB metrics. Hence, for the sharp values of path lengths, also called statistical lengths, we obtain the operational meaning to quantify the residual irreversibility in near-reversible state transport. In the classical limit, the Bhattacharyya fidelity is found to have a sharp operational meaning after eighty years.
