Abstract
We compare the performance of protective quantum measurements to that of
standard projective measurements. Performance is quantified in terms of the
uncertainty in the measured expectation value. We derive an expression for the
relative performance of these two types of quantum measurements and show
explicitly that protective measurements can provide a significant performance
advantage over standard projective measurements.
