contents The asymmetry of a quantum state relative to a translational group is a central concept in many areas of quantum science and technology. An important and geometrically intuitive measure of translational asymmetry of a state is given by the trace-norm asymmetry, which is defined as the trace norm of the commutator between the state and the generator of the translation group. While trace-norm asymmetry satisfies all the requirements for a bonafide measure of translational asymmetry of a state within the quantum resource theoretical framework, its meaning in terms of laboratory operations is still missing. Here, we first show that the trace-norm asymmetry is equal to the average absolute imaginary part of the weak value of the generator of the translation group optimized over all possible orthonormal bases of the Hilbert space. Hence, it can be estimated via the measurement of weak value combined with a classical optimization in the fashion of quantum variational circuit which may be implemented using the near-term quantum hardware. We then use the link between the trace-norm asymmetry and the nonreal weak value to derive the relation between the trace-norm asymmetry with other basic concepts in quantum statistics. We further obtain trade-off relations for the trace-norm asymmetry and quantum Fisher information, having analogous forms to the Kennard-Weyl-Robertson uncertainty relation.
