Minimum-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 کاملDiscrimination with an error margin among three symmetric states of a qubit
We consider a state discrimination problem which deals with settings of minimum-error and unambiguous discrimination systematically by introducing a margin for the probability of an incorrect guess. We analyze discrimination of three symmetric pure states of a qubit. The measurements are classified into three types, and one of the three types is optimal depending on the value of the error margi...
متن کاملDiscrimination between Nonorthogonal Two-photon Polarization States *
It is shown that generalized measurements, required for optimally discriminating between nonorthogonal joint polarization states of two indistinguishable photons, can be realized with the help of polarization-dependent twophoton absorption and by means of sum-frequency generation. Optimization schemes are investigated with respect to minimizing the error probability in inferring the states, as ...
متن کاملMinimum-error discrimination between symmetric mixed quantum states
We provide a solution of finding optimal measurement strategy for distinguishing between symmetric mixed quantum states. It is assumed that the matrix elements of at least one of the symmetric quantum states are all real and nonnegative in the basis of the eigenstates of the symmetry operator.

متن کاملOn the conditions for discrimination between quantum states with minimum error
Submitted to: J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. In quantum communications a transmitting party, Alice, selects from among a set of agreed quantum states to prepare a quantum system for transmission to the receiving party, Bob. Both the set of possible states, {ρ̂i}, and the associated probabilities for selection, {pi} are known to Bob but not, of course, the selected state. His task is to determine as well...
