On a Differential Geometric Viewpoint of Jaynes' Maxent Method and its Quantum Extension

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We present a differential geometric viewpoint of the quantum MaxEnt estimate of a density operator when only incomplete knowledge encoded in the expectation values of a set of quantum observables is available. Finally, the additional possibility of considering some prior bias towards a certain density operator (the prior) is taken into account and the unsolved issues with its quantum relative entropic inference criterion are pointed out.
