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 کاملQuantum state discrimination
It is a fundamental consequence of the superposition principle for quantum states that there must exist non-orthogonal states, that is states that, although different, have a non-zero overlap. This finite overlap means that there is no way of determining with certainty in which of two such states a given physical system has been prepared. We review the various strategies that have been devised ...
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 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...
