Finite Operator-Valued Frames

Operator-valued frames are natural generalization of frames that have been used in quantum computing, packets encoding, etc. In this paper, we focus on developing the theory about operator-valued frames for finite Hilbert spaces. Some results concerning dilation, alternate dual, and existence of operator-valued frames are given. Then we characterize the optimal operator-valued frames under the case which one packet of data is lost in transmission. At last we construct the operator-valued frames $\{V_j\}_{j=1}^m$ with given frame operator $S$ and satisfying $V_jV_j^*=α_jI$, where $α_j's$ are positive numbers.
