- Abstract: The problem of non-orthogonal state discrimination underlies crucial quantum
information tasks, such as cryptography and computing protocols. Therefore, it
is decisive to find optimal scenarios for discrimination among quantum states.
We experimentally investigate the strategy for the optimal discrimination of
two non-orthogonal states considering a fixed rate of inconclusive outcomes
(FRIO). The main advantage of the FRIO strategy is to interpolate between
unambiguous and minimum error discrimination by solely adjusting the rate of
inconclusive outcomes. We present a versatile experimental scheme that performs
the optimal FRIO measurement for any pair of generated non-orthogonal states
with arbitrary a priori probabilities and for any fixed rate of inconclusive
outcomes. Considering different values of the free parameters in the FRIO
protocol, we implement it upon qubit states encoded in the polarization mode of
single photons generated in the spontaneous parametric down-conversion process.
Moreover, we resort to a newfangled double-path Sagnac interferometer to
perform a three-outcome non-projective measurement required for the
discrimination task, showing excellent agreement with the theoretical
prediction. This experiment provides a practical toolbox for a wide range of
quantum state discrimination strategies using the FRIO scheme, which can
greatly benefit quantum information applications and fundamental studies in
quantum theory.

Optimization under Uncertain Feature Positions [53.478856119297284]
We introduce the probabilistic normal epipolar constraint (PNEC) that overcomes the limitation by accounting for anisotropic and inhomogeneous uncertainties in the feature positions.
In experiments on synthetic data, we demonstrate that the novel PNEC yields more accurate rotation estimates than the original NEC.
We integrate the proposed method into a state-of-the-art monocular rotation-only odometry system and achieve consistently improved results for the real-world KITTI dataset.

We propose the amortized conditional normalized maximum likelihood (ACNML) method as a scalable general-purpose approach for uncertainty estimation.
Our algorithm builds on the conditional normalized maximum likelihood (CNML) coding scheme, which has minimax optimal properties according to the minimum description length principle.
We demonstrate that ACNML compares favorably to a number of prior techniques for uncertainty estimation in terms of calibration on out-of-distribution inputs.

Two main strategies have been widely adopted: in a minimum error discrimination strategy, the average error probability is minimized; while in an unambiguous discrimination strategy, an inconclusive decision is allowed to vanish any possibility of errors when a conclusive result is obtained.
In this paper, we formulate an approximate unambiguous discrimination scenario, and derive the ultimate limits of the performance for both states and channels.
For the special class of teleportation-covariant' channels, the lower bound is achievable with maximum entangled inputs and no adaptive strategy is necessary.
