We investigate the discrimination of pure-mixed (quantum filtering) and mixed-mixed states and compare their optimal success probability with the one for discriminating other pairs of pure states superposed by the vectors included in the mixed states. We prove that under the equal-fidelity condition, the pure-pure state discrimination scheme is superior to the pure-mixed (mixed-mixed) one. With respect to quantum filtering, the coherence exists only in one pure state and is detrimental to the state discrimination for lower dimensional systems; while it is the opposite for the mixed-mixed case with symmetrically distributed coherence. Making an extension to infinite-dimensional systems, we find that the coherence which is detrimental to state discrimination may become helpful and vice versa.

By establishing CHSH operators and CHSH-type inequalities, we show that any entangled pure state in infinite-dimensional systems is entangled in a 2⊗2 subspace. We find that, for infinite-dimensional systems, the corresponding properties are similar to that of the two-qubit case: (i) The CHSH-type inequalities provide a sufficient and necessary condition for separability of pure states; (ii) The CHSH operators satisfy the Cirel'son inequalities; (iii) Any state which violates one of these Bell inequalities is distillable.

Dimension reduction of dynamical system is a significant issue for technical applications, as regards both finite dimensional system and infinite dimensional systems emerging from either science or engineering. Center manifold method is one of the main reduction methods for ordinary differential systems (ODSs). Does there exists a similar method for fractional ODSs (FODSs)? In other words, does there exists a method for reducing the high-dimensional FODS into a lower-dimensional FODS? In this study, we establish a local fractional center manifold for a finite dimensional FODS. Several examples are given to illustrate the theoretical analysis.

AbstractThe Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) paradox is an exquisite no-go theorem that shows the sharp contradiction between classical theory and quantum mechanics by ruling out any local realistic description of quantum theory. The investigation of GHZ-type paradoxes has been carried out in a variety of systems and led to fruitful discoveries. However, its range of applicability still remains unknown and a unified construction is yet to be discovered. In this work, we present a unified construction of GHZ-type paradoxes for graph states, and show that the existence of GHZ-type paradox is not limited to graph states. The results have important applications in quantum state verification for graph states, entanglement detection, and construction of GHZ-type steering paradox for mixed states. We perform a photonic experiment to test the GHZ-type paradoxes via measuring the success probability of their corresponding perfect Hardy-type paradoxes, and demonstrate the proposed applications. Our work deepens the comprehension of quantum paradoxes in quantum foundations, and may have applications in a broad spectrum of quantum information tasks.

Two people independently and with the same distribution guess the location of an unseen object in n-dimensional space, and the one whose guess is closer to the unseen object is declared the winner. The first person announces his guess, but the second modifies his unspoken idea by moving his guess in the direction of the first guess and as close to it as possible. It is shown that if the distribution of guesses is rotationally symmetric about the true location of the unseen object, ¾ is the sharp lower bound for the success probability of the second guesser. If the distribution is fixed and the dimension increases, then for a certain class of distributions, the success probability approaches 1.
