Abstract
The concept of complementarity (or quasi-orthogonality) is extended to positive operator-valued measurements. It is shown in the setting of unconstrained state estimation that the determinant of the mean quadratic error matrix is minimal if the positive operator-valued measurements are complementary (and informationally complete). Several examples of the scheme are given.
