Abstract: Among concepts describing the information contents of quantum mechanical density operators, both the Wigner-Yanase skew information and the quantum Fisher information defined via symmetric logarithmic derivatives are natural generalizations of the classical Fisher information. We will establish a relationship between these two fundamental quantities and show that they are comparable.
