State Discrimination

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.

State Discrimination

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.

AbstractWe show that every Gaussian mixed quantum state can be disentangled by conjugation with a passive symplectic transformation, that is a metaplectic operator associated with a symplectic rotation. The main tools we use are the Werner–Wolf condition on covariance matrices and the symplectic covariance of Weyl quantization. Our result therefore complements a recent study by Lami, Serafini, and Adesso.

Local Filtering

The effect of filtering operation with respect to purification and concentration of entanglement in quantum states are discussed in this paper. It is shown, through examples, that the local action of the filtering operator on a part of the composite quantum state allows for purification of the remaining part of the state. The redistribution of entanglement in the subsystems of a noise affected state is shown to be due to the action of local filtering on the non-decohering part of the system. The varying effects of the filtering parameter, on the entanglement transfer between the subsystems, depending on the choice of the initial quantum state is illustrated.

Priori Knowledge

Due to the fundamental limitations related to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the non-cloning theorem, it is impossible, even in principle, to determine the quantum state of a single system without a priori knowledge of it. To discriminate nonorthogonal quantum states in some optimal way, a priori knowledge of the discriminated states has to be relied upon. In this paper, we thoroughly investigate some impact of a priori classical knowledge of two quantum states on the optimal unambiguous discrimination. It is exemplified that a priori classical knowledge of the discriminated states, incomplete or complete, can be utilized to improve the optimal success probabilities, whereas the lack of a prior classical knowledge can not be compensated even by more resources.

State Preparation

We propose two kinds of schemes for multiparty remote state preparation (MRSP) of the multiparticle d-dimensional equatorial quantum states by using partial entangled state as the quantum channel. Unlike more remote state preparation scheme which only one sender knows the original state to be remotely prepared, the quantum state is shared by two-party or multiparty in this scheme. We show that if and only if all the senders agree to collaborate with each other, the receiver can recover the original state with certain probability. It is found that the total success probability of MRSP is only by means of the smaller coefficients of the quantum channel and the dimension d.

Group Of Symmetries

One of the key ingredients of many LOCC protocols in quantum information is a multiparticle (locally) maximally entangled quantum state, aka a critical state, that possesses local symmetries. We show how to design critical states with arbitrarily large local unitary symmetry. We explain that such states can be realised in a quantum system of distinguishable traps with bosons or fermions occupying a finite number of modes. Then, local symmetries of the designed quantum state are equal to the unitary group of local mode operations acting diagonally on all traps. Therefore, such a group of symmetries is naturally protected against errors that occur in a physical realisation of mode operators. We also link our results with the existence of so-called strictly semistable states with particular asymptotic diagonal symmetries. Our main technical result states that the Nth tensor power of any irreducible representation of SU(N) contains a copy of the trivial representation. This is established via a direct combinatorial analysis of Littlewood-Richardson rules utilising certain combinatorial objects which we call telescopes.

Complete Set

An ability to describe quantum states directly by average values of measurement outcomes is provided by the Bloch vector. For an informationally complete set of measurements one can construct unique Bloch vector for any quantum state. However, not every Bloch vector corresponds to a quantum state. It seems that only for two-dimensional quantum systems it is easy to distinguish proper Bloch vectors from improper ones, i.e. the ones corresponding to quantum states from the other ones. I propose an alternative approach to the problem in which more than one vector is used. In particular, I show that a state of the qutrit can be described by the three qubit-like Bloch vectors.
