When we extract information from a system by performing a quantum measurement, the state of the system is disturbed due to the backaction of the measurement. Numerous studies have been performed to quantitatively formulate tradeoff relations between information and disturbance. We formulate a tradeoff relation between information and disturbance from an estimation-theoretic point of view, and derive an inequality between them. The information is defined as the classical Fisher information obtained by the measurement, and the disturbance is defined as the average loss of the quantum Fisher information. We show that pure and reversible measurements achieve the equality of the inequality. We also identify the necessary condition for various divergences between two quantum states to satisfy a similar relation. The obtained relation holds not only for the quantum relative entropy but also for the maximum quantum relative entropy.
