Unambiguous quantum state discrimination is a strategy where the conclusive result can always be trusted. This strategy is very important, since it can be used for various quantum information protocols, including quantum key distribution. However, in the view of quantumness, it is not clear what is going on in performing unambiguous quantum state discrimination. To answer the question, we investigate coherence distribution when unambiguous discrimination is performed by generalized measurement. Specially, we study coherence distribution in three cases, which consist of unambiguous quantum state discrimination, sequential quantum state discrimination, and assisted optimal discrimination, which are considered to be a family of unambiguous quantum state discrimination. In this investigation, we show that the structure of generalized measurements performing various types of unambiguous quantum state discrimination can be understood in terms of coherence distribution. Our result is not limited to the discrimination of two pure quantum states, but it is extended to the discrimination of two mixed states.

AbstractNonlocality without entanglement(NLWE) is a nonlocal phenomenon that occurs in quantum state discrimination of multipartite separable states. In the discrimination of orthogonal separable states, the term NLWE is used when the quantum states cannot be discriminated perfectly by local operations and classical communication. In this case, the occurrence of NLWE is independent of nonzero prior probabilities of quantum states being prepared. Recently, it has been found that the occurrence of NLWE can depend on nonzero prior probabilities in minimum-error discrimination of nonorthogonal separable states. Here, we show that even in optimal unambiguous discrimination, the occurrence of NLWE can depend on nonzero prior probabilities. We further show that NLWE can occur regardless of nonzero prior probabilities, even if only one state can be locally discriminated without error. Our results provide new insights into classifying sets of multipartite quantum states in terms of quantum state discrimination.

We analyze possible connections between quantum-inspired classifications and support vector machines. Quantum state discrimination and optimal quantum measurement are useful tools for classification problems. In order to use these tools, feature vectors have to be encoded in quantum states represented by density operators. Classification algorithms inspired by quantum state discrimination and implemented on classic computers have been recently proposed. We focus on the implementation of a known quantum-inspired classifier based on Helstrom state discrimination showing its connection with support vector machines and how to make the classification more efficient in terms of space and time acting on quantum encoding. In some cases, traditional methods provide better results. Moreover, we discuss the quantum-inspired nearest mean classification.

The notion of entanglement is the most well-known nonclassical correlation in quantum mechanics, and a fundamental resource in quantum information and computation. This correlation, which is displayed by certain classes of quantum states, is of utmost importance when dealing with protocols, such as quantum teleportation, cryptography and quantum key distribution. In this paper, we exploit a classification of tripartite entanglement by introducing the concepts of entangled hypergraph and evolving entangled hypergraph as data structures suitable to model quantum protocols which use entanglement. Finally, we present a few examples to provide applications of this model.

State Discrimination

AbstractQuantum state discrimination of coherent states has been one of important problems in quantum information processing. Recently, R. Han et al. showed that minimum error discrimination of two coherent states can be nearly done by using Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian. In this paper, based on the result of R. Han et al., we propose the methods where minimum error discrimination of more than two weak coherent states can be nearly performed. Specially, we construct models which can do almost minimum error discrimination of three and four coherent states. Our result can be applied to quantum information processing of various coherent states.

We propose a scheme for the deterministic sharing arbitrary qudit states among three distant parties and characterize the set of ideal quantum channels. We also show that the use of non-ideal quantum channels for quantum state sharing can be related to the problem of quantum state discrimination. This allows us to formulate a protocol which leads to perfect quantum state sharing with a finite success probability.

State Discrimination

Roa et al. showed that quantum state discrimination between two nonorthogonal quantum states does not require quantum entanglement but quantum dissonance only. We find that quantum coherence can also be utilized for unambiguous quantum state discrimination. We present a protocol and quantify the required coherence for this task. We discuss the optimal unambiguous quantum state discrimination strategy in some cases. In particular, our work illustrates an avenue to find the optimal strategy for discriminating two nonorthogonal quantum states by measuring quantum coherence.
