Cryptographic Distinguishability Measures for Quantum-Mechanical States
This paper, mostly expository in nature, surveys four measures of distinguishability for quantum-mechanical states. This is done from the point of view of the cryptographer with a particular eye on applications in quantum cryptography. Each of the measures considered is rooted in an analogous classical measure of distinguishability for probability distributions: namely, the probability of an id...
متن کاملComparisons between quantum state distinguishability measures
We provide a compendium of inequalities between several quantum state distinguishability measures. For each measure these inequalities consist of the sharpest possible upper and lower bounds in terms of another measure. Some of these inequalities are already known, but new or more general proofs are given, whereas other inequalities are new. We also supply cases of equality to show that all ine...
متن کاملLocal distinguishability of any three quantum states
We prove that any three linearly independent pure quantum states can always be locally distinguished with nonzero probability regardless of their dimension, entanglement or multipartite structure. Almost always, all three states can be unambiguously identified. The only exceptional case, where one state is locally knowable but the other two are not, is found among multi-qubit states. PACS numbe...
متن کاملOn the distinguishability of random quantum states
We develop two analytic lower bounds on the probability of success p of identifying a state picked from a known ensemble of pure states: a bound based on the pairwise inner products of the states, and a bound based on the eigenvalues of their Gram matrix. We use the latter to lower bound the asymptotic distinguishability of ensembles of n random quantum states in d dimensions, where n/d approac...
متن کاملOn the Distinguishability of Relativistic Quantum States in Quantum Cryptography
Relativistic quantum field theory imposes additional fundamental restrictions on the distinguishability of quantum states. Because of the unavoidable delocalization of the quantum field states in the Minkowski space-time, the reliable (with unit probability) distinguishability of orthogonal states formally requires infinite time. For the cryptographic protocols which are finite in time the latt...
