Abstract

As became apparent during Koenraad\'s talk, there are some important subleties to concepts like \'flat prior\' and \'uniform distribution\'... especially over probability simplices and quantum state spaces. This is a key problem for Bayesian approaches. Perhaps we\'re more interested in Jeffreys priors, Bures priors, or even something induced by the Chernoff bound! I\'d like to start a discussion of the known useful distributions over quantum states & processes, and I nominate Karol Zyckowski to lead it off.
