Distinguishability and copiability of programs in general process theories
We propose a notion of state distinguishability that does not refer to probabilities, but rather to the ability of a set of states to serve as programs for a desired set of gates. Using this notion, we reconstruct the structural features of the task of state discrimination, such as the equivalence with cloning and the impossibility to extract information from two non-distinguishable pure states...
متن کاملCryptographic 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 کاملErasure entropies and Gibbs measures
Recently Verdù and Weissman introduced erasure entropies, which are meant to measure the information carried by one or more symbols given all of the remaining symbols in the realization of a random process or field. A natural relation to Gibbs measures has also been observed. In this short note we study this relation further, review a few earlier contributions from statistical mechanics, and pr...
متن کاملRényi Entropies for Free Field Theories
Rényi entropies Sq are useful measures of quantum entanglement; they can be calculated from traces of the reduced density matrix raised to power q, with q ≥ 0. For (d + 1)dimensional conformal field theories, the Rényi entropies across S may be extracted from the thermal partition functions of these theories on either (d+1)-dimensional de Sitter space or R×H, where H is the d-dimensional hyperb...
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...
