43. Convexity of F has been proven in M.L. Cohen, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 14, 591 (1968). A slightly more compact proof is reported here. For ρ (θ) = a' k p k ρ k (θ) we have P (ε | θ) = Tr [E (ε) ρ (θ)] = a' k p k P k (ε | θ) where P k (ε | θ) = Tr [E (ε) ρ k (θ)]. Using the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality we have that (a P (ε | θ) / a θ) 2 / P (ε | θ) ≤ a' k p k (a P k (ε | θ) / a θ) 2 / P k (ε | θ). Integrating over d ε we obtain that F E (ε) [a' k p k ρ k (θ)] ≤ a' k p k F E (ε) [ρ k (θ)]. This inequality holds for all possible POVM and, in particular, for those saturating the QFI.
