The scalar curvature of the Bures metric on the space of density matrices (Q1305340)

The Riemannian Bures metric on the space of complex positive \(n\times n\) matrices \(D\) is defined by: \(g_Q(X,Y)= {1\over 2}TrXG\), where \(X,Y\in T_QD\) and \(G\) is the unique solution of equation \(QG+GQ=Y\). The author determines the Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature of the Bures metric.
