Phys. Rev. A 66, 044306 (2002) [3 pages]Quantum information in base n defined by state partitionsSee Also: Erratum Received 14 May 2002; published 24 October 2002 We define a “nit” as a radix n measure of quantum information which is based on state partitions associated with the outcomes of n-ary observables and which, for n>2, is fundamentally irreducible to a binary coding. Properties of this measure for entangled many-particle states are discussed. k particles specify k nits in such a way that k mutually commuting measurements of observables with n possible outcomes are sufficient to determine the information. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
