Optical realization of optimal unambiguous discrimination for pure and mixed quantum states.
Quantum mechanics forbids deterministic discrimination among nonorthogonal states. Nonetheless, the capability to distinguish nonorthogonal states unambiguously is an important primitive in quantum information processing. In this work, we experimentally implement generalized measurements in an optical system and demonstrate the first optimal unambiguous discrimination between three nonorthogona...
متن کاملQuasi-unambiguous state discrimination for coherent states with phase fluctuation
This paper describes unambiguous state discrimination (USD) for a sequence of coherent states with fluctuating phase, while considering eavesdropping against differential-phase-shift quantum key distribution systems. A measurement system extracts a fraction of the incoming signal of coherent states, estimates the carrier phase from that fraction, and then conducts a USD measurement on the main ...
متن کاملOptimal Unambiguous Discrimination of Quantum States
Unambiguously distinguishing between nonorthogonal but linearly independent quantum states is a challenging problem in quantum information processing. In this work, an exact analytic solution to an optimum measurement problem involving an arbitrary number of pure linearly independent quantum states is presented. To this end, the relevant semi-definite programming task is reduced to a linear pro...
متن کاملUnambiguous discrimination of mixed quantum states
Quantum state discrimination is an essential problem in quantum information theory. It was first considered for pure states in the literature. One strategy of quantum state discrimination is that one is asked to distinguish the given states without error, but a non-zero probability of inconclusive answer is allowed. Such a strategy is called unambiguous discrimination. Unambiguous discriminatio...
متن کاملUnambiguous Discrimination Between Linearly-Independent Quantum States
The theory of generalised measurements is used to examine the problem of discriminating unambiguously between non-orthogonal pure quantum states. Measurements of this type never give erroneous results, although, in general, there will be a non-zero probability of a result being inconclusive. It is shown that only linearly-independent states can be unambiguously discriminated. In addition to exa...
