Maximum confidence quantum measurements.

چکیده
We consider the problem of discriminating between states of a specified set with maximum confidence. For a set of linearly independent states unambiguous discrimination is possible if we allow for the possibility of an inconclusive result. For linearly dependent sets an analogous measurement is one which allows us to be as confident as possible that when a given state is identified on the basis of the measurement result, it is indeed the correct state.

Gradient-based stopping rules for maximum-likelihood quantum-state tomography
When performing maximum-likelihood quantum-state tomography, one must find the quantum state that maximizes the likelihood of the state given observed measurements on identically prepared systems. The optimization is usually performed with iterative algorithms. This paper provides a gradient-based upper bound on the ratio of the true maximum likelihood and the likelihood of the state of the cur...
متن کاملSuperadditivity of Quantum Channel Coding Rate with Finite Blocklength Quantum Measurements
This paper investigates the superadditivity of the maximum achievable information rate in a quantum channel. The superadditivity is a phenomenon that the maximum accessible information per channel strictly increases as the number of quantum states jointly measured increases. We give an explanation of this phenomenon by comparing the quantum channel with the classical discrete memoryless channel...

متن کاملQuantum Bayes rule
We state a quantum version of Bayes’s rule for statistical inference and give a simple general derivation within the framework of generalized measurements. The rule can be applied to measurements on N copies of a system if the initial state of the N copies is exchangeable. As an illustration, we apply the rule to N qubits. Finally, we show that quantum state estimates derived via the principle ...
متن کاملBell inequality for quNits with binary measurements
We present a generalized Bell inequality for two entangled quNits. On one quNit the choice is between two standard von Neumann measurements, whereas for the other quNit there are N2 different binary measurements. These binary measurements are related to the intermediate states known from eavesdropping in quantum cryptography. The maximum violation by √ N is reached for the maximally entangled s...
