- Authors: Krishna Kumar Sabapathy, Andreas Winter
- Abstract summary: We show that the positivity of the Wigner function of Gaussian states and measurements provides an elegant way to bound the discriminating power of "linear optics"
We show that there are states, each a probabilistic mixture of multi-mode coherent states, which are exponentially reliably discriminated in principle, but appear exponentially close judging from the output of GOCC measurements.

- Abstract: We show that the positivity of the Wigner function of Gaussian states and
measurements provides an elegant way to bound the discriminating power of
"linear optics", which we formalise as Gaussian measurement operations
augmented by classical (feed-forward) communication (GOCC). This allows us to
reproduce and generalise the result of Takeoka and Sasaki [PRA 78:022320,
2008], which tightly characterises the GOCC norm distance of coherent states,
separating it from the optimal distinguishability according to Helstrom's
theorem.
Furthermore, invoking ideas from classical and quantum Shannon theory we show
that there are states, each a probabilistic mixture of multi-mode coherent
states, which are exponentially reliably discriminated in principle, but appear
exponentially close judging from the output of GOCC measurements. In analogy to
LOCC data hiding, which shows an irreversibility in the preparation and
discrimination of states by the restricted class of local operations and
classical communication (LOCC), we call the present effect GOCC data hiding.
We also present general bounds in the opposite direction, guaranteeing a
minimum of distinguishability under measurements with positive Wigner function,
for any bounded-energy states that are Helstrom distinguishable. We conjecture
that a similar bound holds for GOCC measurements.

We study the classical simulatability of Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) states in combination with arbitrary displacements, a large set of symplectic operations and homodyne measurements.
For these types of circuits, neither continuous-variable theorems based on the non-negativity of quasi-probability distributions nor discrete-variable theorems can be employed to assess the simulatability.

We show that the truncated chord approximation coincides with the full semiclassical approximation to the evolved quantum characteristic function (or chord function) in a narrow neighbourhood of the origin of the dual chord phase space.
Surprisingly, this small region accounts for purely quantum features, such as blind spots and local wave function correlations, as well as the expectation of observables with a close classical correspondence.
