Abstract

We define an ideal optimal quantum measurement as that measurement on the apparatus for which the average algorithmic information in the measurement record is minimized. We apply the definition to a chaotic system subject to continuous (Markov) quantum nondemolition measurements. For optimized measurements the average information in the record is much closer to the von Neumann entropy than in the nonoptimized case, but increases more quickly in the chaotic region than in the regular region.
