Local and global distinguishability in quantum interferometry.
A statistical distinguishability based on relative entropy characterizes the fitness of quantum states for phase estimation. This criterion is employed in the context of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and used to interpolate between two regimes of local and global phase distinguishability. The scaling of distinguishability in these regimes with photon number is explored for various quantum state...
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 کاملQuantum secret sharing based on local distinguishability
In this paper we analyze the (im)possibility of the exact distinguishability of orthogonal multipartite entangled states under restricted local operation and classical communication. Based on this local distinguishability analysis we propose a new scheme for quantum secret sharing (QSS). Our QSS scheme is quite general and cost efficient compared to other schemes. In our scheme no joint quantum...
متن کاملLocal distinguishability of quantum states in infinite dimensional systems
We investigate local distinguishability of quantum states by use of the convex analysis about joint numerical range of operators on a Hilbert space. We show that any two orthogonal pure states are distinguishable by local operations and classical communications, even for infinite dimensional systems. An estimate of the local discrimination probability is also given for some family of more than ...
متن کاملInterference and Distinguishability in Quantum Mechanics
Quantitative measures are introduced for the indistinguishability U of two quantum states in a given measurement and the amount of interference I observable in this measurement. It is shown that these measures obey an inequality U ≥ I which can be seen as an exact formulation of Bohr’s claim that one cannot distinguish between two possible paths of a particle while maintaining an interference p...
