Minimum-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 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...
متن کاملMinimum guesswork discrimination between quantum states
Error probability is a popular and well-studied optimization criterion in discriminating non-orthogonal quantum states. It captures the threat from an adversary who can only query the actual state once. However, when the adversary is able to use a brute-force strategy to query the state, discrimination measurement with minimum error probability does not necessarily minimize the number of querie...
متن کاملMinimum-correlation mixed quantum states
We consider states leading to the equality sign in the uncertainty inequalities associated with correlations in open quantum systems which have been recently derived by Ponomarenko and Wolf @Phys. Rev. A 63, 062106 ~2001!#. The new inequalities involve fluctuations defined in terms of the square of the density operator that characterizes mixed states. We find the minimum-correlation states asso...
