Optimal local discrimination of two multipartite pure states

S. Virmani, Sacchi, M F, Martin Bodo Plenio +1 more

In a recent paper, Walgate et. al. demonstrated that any two orthogonal multipartite pure states can be optimally distinguished using only local operations. We utilise their result to show that this is true for any two multiparty pure states, in the sense of inconclusive discrimination. There are also certain regimes of conclusive discrimination for which the same also applies, although we can only conjecture that the result is true for all conclusive regimes. We also discuss a class of states that can be distinguished locally according to any discrimination measure, as they can be locally recreated in the hands of one party. A consequence of this is that any two maximally entangled states can always be optimally discriminated locally, according to any figure of merit.

Optimal conclusive discrimination of two states can be achieved locally

Zhengfeng Ji, Hongen Cao, Mingsheng Ying

This paper constructs a local operation and classical communication protocol that achieves the global optimality of conclusive discrimination of any two pure states with arbitrary a priori probability. This can be interpreted that there is no ``nonlocality'' in the conclusive discrimination of two multipartite pure states.

Optimal conclusive discrimination of two nonorthogonal pure product multipartite states through local operations

Yi-Xin Chen, Dong Yang

We consider one copy of a quantum system prepared in one of two nonorthogonal pure product states of multipartite distributed among separated parties. We show that there exist protocols that achieve optimal conclusive discrimination by means of local operations and classical communications as good as by global measurements. Also, we show a protocol that minimizes the average number of local operations. Our result implies that two pure product multipartite states might not have the nonlocal property although more than two can have.
