Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of close parallels that exist between the theory of positive-operator-valued measures (POVMs) associated with a separable Hilbert space and the theory of frames on that space, including its most important generalizations. The concept of a framed POVM is introduced, and classical frames, fusion frames, generalized frames, and other variants of frames are all shown to arise as framed POVMs. This observation allows drawing on a rich existing theory of POVMs to provide new perspectives in the study of frames.
