Abstract
It is known that mutually unbiased bases, whenever they exist, are optimal in an information theoretic sense for the determination of unknown state of a quantum ensemble. These bases may not exist in most dimensions and some suboptimal choices have to be made. The present paper deals with estimates of the information loss in suboptimal choice of bases. The information is calculated directly in terms of transition probabilities. I give estimates for the information content of measurement in some approximate MUBs proposed recently.
