    "abstract": "A direct derivation is given for the optimal mean fidelity of quantum state\nestimation of a d-dimensional unknown pure state with its N copies given as\ninput, which was first obtained by M. Hayashi in terms of an infinite set of\ncovariant positive operator valued measures (POVM\u0027s) and by Bruss and\nMacchiavello establishing a connection to optimal quantum cloning. An explicit\ncondition for POVM measurement operators for optimal estimators is obtained, by\nwhich we construct optimal estimators with finite POVM using exact quadratures\non a hypersphere. These finite optimal estimators are not generally universal,\nwhere universality means the fidelity is independent of input states. However,\nany optimal estimator with finite POVM for M(\u003eN) copies is universal if it is\nused for N copies as input.",
