Abstract: Observations or measurements taken of a quantum system (a small number of fundamental particles) are inherently random. If the state of the system depends on unknown parameters, then the distribution of the outcome depends on these parameters too, and statistical inference problems result. Often one has a choice of what measurement to take, corresponding to different experimental set-ups or settings of measurement apparatus. This leads to a design problem--which measurement is best for a given statistical problem. This paper gives an introduction to this field in the most simple of settings, that of estimating the state of a spin-half particle given n independent copies of the particle. We show how in some cases asymptotically optimal measurements can be constructed. Other cases present interesting open problems, connected to the fact that for some models, quantum Fisher information is in some sense non-additive. In physical terms, we have non-locality without entanglement.
