Structure of minimum-error quantum state discrimination
Distinguishing different quantum states is a fundamental task having practical applications in information processing. Despite the effort devoted so far, however, strategies for optimal discrimination are known only for specific examples. In this paper we consider the problem of minimum-error quantum state discrimination where one attempts to minimize the average error. We show the general stru...
متن کاملMinimum-error discrimination between mixed quantum states
We derive a general lower bound on the minimum-error probability for ambiguous discrimination between arbitrary m’s mixed quantum states with given prior probabilities. When m = 2, this bound is precisely the well-known Helstrom limit. Also, we give a general lower bound on the minimum-error probability for discriminating quantum operations. In particular, we show necessary and sufficient condi...
متن کاملOptimal Observables for Minimum-Error State Discrimination in General Probabilistic Theories
General Probabilistic Theories provide the most general mathematical framework for the theory of probability in an operationally natural manner, and generalize classical and quantum theories. In this article, we study state-discrimination problems in general probabilistic theories using a Bayesian strategy. After re-formulation of the theories with mathematical rigor, we first prove that an opt...
متن کاملMinimum-error discrimination between symmetric mixed quantum states
We provide a solution of finding optimal measurement strategy for distinguishing between symmetric mixed quantum states. It is assumed that the matrix elements of at least one of the symmetric quantum states are all real and nonnegative in the basis of the eigenstates of the symmetry operator.

متن کاملDistinguishing mixed quantum states: Minimum-error discrimination versus optimum unambiguous discrimination
We consider two different optimized measurement strategies for the discrimination of nonorthogonal quantum states. The first is ambiguous discrimination with a minimum probability of inferring an erroneous result, and the second is unambiguous, i.e., error-free, discrimination with a minimum probability of getting an inconclusive outcome, where the measurement fails to give a definite answer. F...
