On the Chernoff bound for efficiency of quantum hypothesis testing
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper estimates the Chernoff rate for the efficiency of quantum hypothesis testing. For both joint and separable measurements, approximate bounds for the rate are given if both states are mixed and exact expressions are derived if at least one of the states is pure. The efficiency of tests with separable measurements is found to be close to the efficiency of tests with joint measurements. The results are illustrated by a test of quantum entanglement.

Error Exponents in Quantum Hypothesis Testing
In the simple quantum hypothesis testing problem, upper bounds on the error probabilities are shown based on a key matrix inequality. Concerning the error exponents, the upper bounds lead to noncommutative analogues of the Chernoff bound and the Hoeffding bound, which are identical with the classical counter part if the hypotheses, composed of two density operators, are mutually commutative. Ou...
متن کاملThe Converse Part of The Theorem for Quantum Hoeffding Bound
We prove the converse part of the theorem for quantum Hoeffding bound on the asymptotics of quantum hypothesis testing, essentially based on an argument developed by Nussbaum and Szkola in proving the converse part of the quantum Chernoff bound. Our result complements Hayashi’s proof of the direct (achievability) part of the theorem, so that the quantum Hoeffding bound has now been established.
متن کاملQuantum hypothesis testing with group symmetry
The asymptotic discrimination problem of two quantum states is studied in the setting where measurements are required to be invariant under some symmetry group of the system. We consider various asymptotic error exponents in connection with the problems of the Chernoff bound, the Hoeffding bound and Stein’s lemma, and derive bounds on these quantities in terms of their corresponding statistical...
متن کاملUpper bounds on the error probabilities and asymptotic error exponents in quantum multiple state discrimination
We consider the multiple hypothesis testing problem for symmetric quantum state discrimination between r given states σ1, . . . , σr. By splitting up the overall test into multiple binary tests in various ways we obtain a number of upper bounds on the optimal error probability in terms of the binary error probabilities. These upper bounds allow us to deduce various bounds on the asymptotic erro...
متن کاملQuantum Chernoff bound as a measure of distinguishability between density matrices: Application to qubit and Gaussian states
Hypothesis testing is a fundamental issue in statistical inference and has been a crucial element in the development of information sciences. The Chernoff bound gives the minimal Bayesian error probability when discriminating two hypotheses given a large number of observations. Recently the combined work of Audenaert et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 160501 2007 and Nussbaum and Szkola e-print arXiv:...
