Abstract

In this paper, we have considered the problem of general conclusive quantum state classification; the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of conclusive classification strategies have also been presented. Moreover, we have given the upper bound for the maximal success probability.

Upper bound for the success probability of unambiguous discrimination among quantum states

Shengyu Zhang, Yuan Feng, Xiaoming Sun +1 more

One strategy to the discrimination problem is to identify the state with certainty, leaving a possibility of undecidability. This paper gives an upper bound for the maximal success probability of unambiguous discrimination among n states. This bound coincides with the known IDP limit when two states are considered.

Conclusive exclusion of quantum states

Somshubhro Bandyopadhyay, Rahul Jain, Jonathan Oppenheim +1 more

In the task of quantum state exclusion, we consider a quantum system prepared in a state chosen from a known set. The aim is to perform a measurement on the system which can conclusively rule that a subset of the possible preparation procedures cannot have taken place. We ask what conditions the set of states must obey in order for this to be possible and how well we can complete the task when it is not. The task of quantum state discrimination forms a subclass of this set of problems. Within this paper, we formulate the general problem as a semidefinite program (SDP), enabling us to derive sufficient and necessary conditions for a measurement to be optimal. Furthermore, we obtain a necessary condition on the set of states for exclusion to be achievable with certainty, and we give a construction for a lower bound on the probability of error. This task of conclusively excluding states has gained importance in the context of the foundations of quantum mechanics due to a result from Pusey, Barrett, and Rudolph (PBR). Motivated by this, we use our SDP to derive a bound on how well a class of hidden variable models can perform at a particular task, proving an analog of Tsirelson's bound for the PBR experiment and the optimality of a measurement given by PBR in the process. We also introduce variations of conclusive exclusion, including unambiguous state exclusion, and state exclusion with worst-case error.

Bound on optimal local discrimination of multipartite quantum states

Donghoon Ha, Jeong San Kim

We consider the unambiguous discrimination of multipartite quantum states and provide an upper bound for the maximum success probability of optimal local discrimination. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition to realize the upper bound. We further establish a necessary and sufficient condition for this upper bound to be saturated. Finally, we illustrate our results using examples in multidimensional multipartite quantum systems.

We present the optimal measurement scheme for discriminating among quantum states when a certain fixed rate of inconclusive measurement results is allowed and give analytical results for the maximal success probability for all ranges of the parameters.

Bound on local minimum-error discrimination of bipartite quantum states

Donghoon Ha, Jeong San Kim

We consider the optimal discrimination of bipartite quantum states and provide an upper bound for the maximum success probability of optimal local discrimination. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a measurement to realize the upper bound. We further establish a necessary and sufficient condition for this upper bound to be saturated. Finally, we illustrate our results using an example.
