AbstractBy comparing measurement-induced classical Fisher information of parameterized quantum states with quantum Fisher information,we study the notion of Fisher concord (as abbreviation of the concord between the classical and the quantum Fisher information), which is an information-theoretic measure of quantum states and quantum measurements based on both classical and quantum Fisher information. Fisher concord is defined by multiplying the inverse square root of quantum Fisher information matrix to measurement-induced classical Fisher information matrix on both sides, and quantifies the relative accessibility of parameter information from quantum measurements (alternatively, the efficiency of quantum measurements in extracting parameter information). It reduces to the ratio of the classical Fisher information to quantum Fisher information in any single parameter scenario. In general, Fisher concord is a symmetric matrix which depends on both quantum states and quantum measurements. Some basic properties of Fisher concord are elucidated. The significance of Fisher concord in quantifying the interplay between classicality and quantumness in parameter estimation and in characterizing the ef- ficiency of quantum measurements are illustrated through several examples, and some information conservation relations in terms of Fisher concord are exhibited.
