Quantum state discrimination between two wave functions on a ring is considered. The optimal minimum-error probability is known to be given by the Helstrom bound. A new strategy is introduced by inserting instantaneously two impenetrable barriers dividing the ring into two chambers. In the process, the candidate wave functions, as the insertion points become nodes, get entangled with the barriers and can, if judiciously chosen, be distinguished with smaller error probability. As a consequence, the Helstrom bound under idealised conditions can be violated.

We consider the discrimination of two pure quantum states with three allowed outcomes: a correct guess, an incorrect guess, and a non-guess. To find an optimum measurement procedure, we define a tunable cost that penalizes the incorrect guess and non
-guess outcomes. Minimizing this cost over all projective measurements produces a rigorous cost bound that includes the usual Helstrom discrimination bound as a special case. We then show that nonprojective measurements can outperform this modified Helstrom bound for certain choices of cost function. The Ivanovic-Dieks-Peres unambiguous state discrimination protocol is recovered as a special case of this improvement. Notably, while the cost advantage of the latter protocol is destroyed with the introduction of any amount of experimental noise, other choices of cost function have optima for which nonprojective measurements robustly show an appreciable, and thus experimentally measurable, cost advantage. Such an experiment would be an unambiguous demonstration of a benefit from nonprojective measurements.
We consider the problem of discriminating two different quantum states in the setting of asymptotically many copies, and determine the optimal strategy that minimizes the total probability of error. This leads to the identification of the quantum Che
rnoff bound, thereby solving a long standing open problem. The bound reduces to the classical Chernoff bound when the quantum states under consideration commute. The quantum Chernoff bound is the natural symmetric distance measure between quantum states because of its clear operational meaning and because of the fact that it does not seem to share the undesirable features of other distance measures like the fidelity, the trace norm and the relative entropy.
We give a short proof of Gaos Quantum Union Bound and Gentle Sequential Measurement theorems.
In quantum estimation theory, the Holevo bound is known as a lower bound of weighed traces of covariances of unbiased estimators. The Holevo bound is defined by a solution of a minimization problem, and in general, explicit solution is not known. Whe
n the dimension of Hilbert space is two and the number of parameters is two, a explicit form of the Holevo bound was given by Suzuki. In this paper, we focus on a logarithmic derivative lies between the symmetric logarithmic derivative (SLD) and the right logarithmic derivative (RLD) parameterized by $betain[0,1]$ to obtain lower bounds of weighted trace of covariance of unbiased estimator. We introduce the maximum logarithmic derivative bound as the maximum of bounds with respect to $beta$. We show that all monotone metrics induce lower bounds, and the maximum logarithmic derivative bound is the largest bound among them. We show that the maximum logarithmic derivative bound has explicit solution when the $d$ dimensional model has $d+1$ dimensional $mathcal{D}$ invariant extension of the SLD tangent space. Furthermore, when $d=2$, we show that the maximization problem to define the maximum logarithmic derivative bound is the Lagrangian duality of the minimization problem to define Holevo bound, and is the same as the Holevo bound. This explicit solution is a generalization of the solution for a two dimensional Hilbert space given by Suzuki. We give also examples of families of quantum states to which our theory can be applied not only for two dimensional Hilbert spaces.
Among the possibly most intriguing aspects of quantum entanglement is that it comes in free and bound instances. Bound entangled states require entangled states in preparation but, once realized, no free entanglement and therefore no pure maximally e
ntangled pairs can be regained. Their existence hence certifies an intrinsic irreversibility of entanglement in nature and suggests a connection with thermodynamics. In this work, we present a first experimental unconditional preparation and detection of a bound entangled state of light. We consider continuous-variable entanglement, use convex optimization to identify regimes rendering its bound character well certifiable, and realize an experiment that continuously produced a distributed bound entangled state with an extraordinary and unprecedented significance of more than ten standard deviations away from both separability and distillability. Our results show that the approach chosen allows for the efficient and precise preparation of multimode entangled states of light with various applications in quantum information, quantum state engineering and high precision metrology.
