• Title: Quantum State Discrimination via Repeated Measurements and the Rule of Three
• Authors: Tom Bullock, Teiko Heinosaari
• Abstract summary: We consider minimum error state discrimination for mutually orthogonal states with a noisy measurement. We identify a 'rule of three', where no change in probability is obtained from a second measurement but there is noticeable improvement after a third. We also provide partial results for $N$-valued commutative measurements where the rule of three remains, but the general pattern present in binary measurements is no longer satisfied.

• Abstract: The task of state discrimination for a set of mutually orthogonal pure states is trivial if one has access to the corresponding sharp (projection-valued) measurement, but what if we are restricted to an unsharp measurement? Given that any realistic measurement device will be subject to some noise, such a problem is worth considering. In this paper we consider minimum error state discrimination for mutually orthogonal states with a noisy measurement. We show that by considering repetitions of commutative L\"uders measurements on the same system we are able to increase the probability of successfully distinguishing states. In the case of binary L\"uders measurements we provide a full characterisation of the success probabilities for any number of repetitions. This leads us to identify a 'rule of three', where no change in probability is obtained from a second measurement but there is noticeable improvement after a third. We also provide partial results for $N$-valued commutative measurements where the rule of three remains, but the general pattern present in binary measurements is no longer satisfied.

In the case of multipartite states with an arbitrary number of qubits, we report that the average content of genuine multipartite entanglement increases with the decrease of the rank in the measurement operators.

• Relating measurement disturbance, information and orthogonality [0.38073142980732994]
  In the general theory of quantum measurement, one associates a positive semidefinite operator on a $d$-dimensional Hilbert space to each of the $n$ possible outcomes of an arbitrary measurement. This restriction allows us to more precisely state the quantum adage: information gain of a system is always accompanied by unavoidable disturbance. We identify symmetric informationally complete quantum measurements as the unique quantum analogs of a perfectly informative and nondisturbing classical ideal measurement.
