Strong Converse and Stein’s Lemma in the Quantum Hypothesis Testing

چکیده
The hypothesis testing problem of two quantum states is treated. We show a new inequality between the error of the first kind and the second kind, which complements the result of Hiai and Petz to establish the quantum version of Stein’s lemma. The inequality is also used to show a bound on the first kind error when the power exponent for the second kind error exceeds the quantum relative entropy, and the bound yields the strong converse in the quantum hypothesis testing. Finally, we discuss the relation between the bound and the power exponent derived by Han and Kobayashi in the classical hypothesis testing.

متن کاملSecond Order Asymptotics for Quantum Hypothesis Testing
In the asymptotic theory of quantum hypothesis testing, the error probability of the first kind jumps sharply from zero to one when the error exponent of the second kind passes by the point of the relative entropy of the two states, in an increasing way. This is well known as the direct part and strong converse of quantum Stein’s lemma. Here we look into the behavior of this sudden change and h...
متن کاملA New Proof of the Direct Part of Stein’s Lemma in Quantum Hypothesis Testing
Abstract— The direct part of Stein’s lemma in quantum hypothesis testing is revisited based on a key operator inequality between a density operator and its pinching. The operator inequality is used to show a simple proof of the direct part of Stein’s lemma without using Hiai-Petz’s theorem, along with an operator monotone function, and in addition it is also used to show a new proof of Hiai-Pet...
متن کاملOptimal sequence of POVMs in the sense of Stein’s lemma in quantum hypothesis testing
In this paper, we give another proof of quantum Stein’s lemma by calculating the information spectrum, and study an asymptotic optimal measurement in the sense of Stein’s lemma. We propose a projection measurement characterized by the irreducible representation theory of the special linear group SL(H). Specially, in spin 1/2 system, it is realized by a simultaneous measurement of the total mome...
متن کاملStrong converse exponents for a quantum channel discrimination problem and quantum-feedback-assisted communication
We study the difficulty of discriminating between an arbitrary quantum channel and a “replacer” channel that discards its input and replaces it with a fixed state.1 The results obtained here generalize those known in the theory of quantum hypothesis testing for binary state discrimination. We show that, in this particular setting, the most general adaptive discrimination strategies provide no a...
