Computational Distinguishability of Quantum Channels
The computational problem of distinguishing two quantum channels is central to quantum computing. It is a generalization of the well-known satisfiability problem from classical to quantum computation. This problem is shown to be surprisingly hard: it is complete for the class QIP of problems that have quantum interactive proof systems, which implies that it is hard for the class PSPACE of probl...
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...
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...
متن کاملLocal 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...
