%0 Journal Article %T Quantum local asymptotic normality based on a new quantum likelihood ratio %A Koichi Yamagata %A Akio Fujiwara %A Richard D. Gill %J Statistics %D 2012 %I arXiv %R 10.1214/13-AOS1147 %X We develop a theory of local asymptotic normality in the quantum domain based on a novel quantum analogue of the log-likelihood ratio. This formulation is applicable to any quantum statistical model satisfying a mild smoothness condition. As an application, we prove the asymptotic achievability of the Holevo bound for the local shift parameter. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.3749v3
