A fundamental problem in Quantum Information Processing is the discrimination amongst a set of quantum states of a system. In this paper, we address this problem on an open quantum system described by a graph, whose evolution is defined by a Quantum Stochastic Walk. In particular, the structure of the graph mimics those of neural networks, with the quantum states to discriminate encoded on input nodes and with the discrimination obtained on the output nodes. We optimize the parameters of the network to obtain the highest probability of correct discrimination. Numerical simulations show that after a transient time the probability of correct decision approaches the theoretical optimal quantum limit. These results are confirmed analytically for small graphs. Finally, we analyze the robustness and reconfigurability of the network for different set of quantum states, and show that this architecture can pave the way to experimental realizations of our protocol as well as novel quantum generalizations of deep learning.

Quantum Stochastic Walks (QSW) allow for a generalization of both quantum and classical random walks by describing the dynamic evolution of an open quantum system on a network, with nodes corresponding to quantum states of a fixed basis. We consider the problem of quantum state discrimination on such a system, and we solve it by optimizing the network topology weights. Finally, we test it on different quantum network topologies and compare it with optimal theoretical bounds.
The sequential unambiguous state discrimination (SSD) of two states prepared in arbitrary prior probabilities is studied, and compared with three strategies that allow classical communication. The deviation from equal probabilities contributes to the success in all the tasks considered. When one considers at least one of the parties succeeds, the protocol with probabilistic cloning is superior to others, which is not observed in the special case with equal prior probabilities. We also investigate the roles of quantum correlations in SSD, and show that the procedure requires discords but rejects entanglement. The left and right discords correspond to the part of information extracted by the first observer and the part left to his successor respectively. Their relative difference is extended by the imbalance of prior probabilities.
In this paper we investigate the connection between quantum information theory and machine learning. In particular, we show how quantum state discrimination can represent a useful tool to address the standard classification problem in machine learning. Previous studies have shown that the optimal quantum measurement theory developed in the context of quantum information theory and quantum communication can inspire a new binary classification algorithm that can achieve higher inference accuracy for various datasets. Here we propose a model for arbitrary multiclass classification inspired by quantum state discrimination, which is enabled by encoding the data in the space of linear operators on a Hilbert space. While our algorithm is quantum-inspired, it can be implemented on classical hardware, thereby permitting immediate applications.
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.
The need of discriminating between different quantum states is a fundamental issue in Quantum Information and Communication. The actual realization of generally optimal strategies in this task is often limited by the need of supplemental resources and very complex receivers. We have experimentally implemented two discrimination schemes in a minimum-error scenario based on a receiver featured by a network structure and a dynamical processing of information. The first protocol implemented in our experiment, directly inspired to a recent theoretical proposal, achieves binary optimal discrimination, while the second one provides a novel approach to multi-state quantum discrimination, relying on the dynamical features of the network-like receiver. This strategy exploits the arrival time degree of freedom as an encoding variable, achieving optimal results, without the need for supplemental systems or devices. Our results further reveal the potential of dynamical approaches to Quantum State Discrimination tasks, providing a possible starting point for efficient alternatives to current experimental strategies.
