I will present three problems in quantum statistical inference that all stem from the difference between local and collective measurements on multipartite states.
The first one is that of hiding a secret direction in a multipartite state with the promise that the parties cannot learn the direction if they perform local operations and classical communication, but can accurately retrieve it if they perform collective measurements.

The main subject of the lecture is entanglement spectrum. After a short introduction the author will consider density matrix of a large block of spins on infinite lattice. The spectrum will be compared for the cases of Heisenberg chain and VBS states. Potential applications will be discussed.
