Optimal distinction between non-orthogonal quantum states
Given a finite set of linearly independent quantum states, an observer who examines a single quantum system may sometimes identify its state with certainty. However, unless these quantum states are orthogonal, there is a finite probability of failure. A complete solution is given to the problem of optimal distinction of three states, having arbitrary prior probabilities and arbitrary detection ...

متن کاملAsymptotically Optimal Discrimination between Pure Quantum States
We consider the decision problem between a finite number of states of a finite quantum system, when an arbitrarily large number of copies of the system is available for measurements. We provide an upper bound on the exponential rate of decay of the averaged probability of rejecting the true state. It represents a generalized quantum Chernoff distance of a finite set of states. As our main resul...
متن کاملQuantum Private Query Protocol Based on Two Non-Orthogonal States
We propose a loss tolerant quantum private query (QPQ) protocol based on two non-orthogonal states and unambiguous state discrimination (USD) measurement. By analyzing a two-point attack by a third party, we find that our protocol has a stronger ability to resist external attacks than G-protocol and Y-protocol. Our protocol requires a smaller number of compressions than that in G-protocol (Gao ...
متن کاملQuantum Public-Key Cryptosystem Using Non-orthogonal States
In this paper we provide a quantum public-key cryptosystem using non-orthogonal states. A user Alice uses a set of particles which are in non-orthogonal quantum states as the public key kept by a key management center (KMC) while she keeps the states of the particles secret as the private key. By the help of KMC any other user can send encrypted message to Alice. Any one including KMC except Al...
