Abstract summary: A core principle of quantum theory is that non-orthogonal quantum states cannot be perfectly distinguished with single-shot measurements. Here we implement a quantum state elimination measurement which unambiguously rules out two of four pure, non-orthogonal quantum states.

Abstract: A core principle of quantum theory is that non-orthogonal quantum states cannot be perfectly distinguished with single-shot measurements. However, it is possible to exclude a subset of non-orthogonal states without error in certain circumstances. Here we implement a quantum state elimination measurement which unambiguously rules out two of four pure, non-orthogonal quantum states -- ideally without error and with unit success probability. This is a generalised quantum measurement with six outcomes, where each outcome corresponds to excluding a pair of states. Our experimental realisation uses single photons, with information encoded in a four-dimensional state using optical path and polarisation degrees of freedom. The prepared state is incorrectly ruled out up to $3.3(2)\%$ of the time.

We propose a measurement-device-independent (MDI) test for beyond-quantum state detection. We discuss the importance of tomographic completeness of the input sets to the detection.

Certifying bipartite pure quantum states efficiently using untrusted devices [4.2297975934654986]
It has been known that all bipartite pure quantum states can be certified by quantum self-testing. Here, we prove that when the underlying Hilbert space dimension is known beforehand, an arbitrary $dtimes d$ bipartite pure state can be certified completely. Compared with quantum self-testing, our protocols do not hinge on quantum nonlocality and are much more efficient.

Separability and entanglement in superpositions of quantum states [0.0]
We study the superpositions of a pure entangled state and a pure product state, when the amplitudes corresponding to the states appearing in any superposition are nonzero. All such superpositions produce only entangled states if the initial entangled state has Schmidt rank three or higher. We find that conditional inseparability of superpositions help in identifying strategies for conclusive local discrimination of shared quantum ensembles.

Unambiguous quantum state elimination for qubit sequences [0.0]
We consider quantum state elimination for two or more qubits, where each qubit can be in one of two possible states. We prove that if we want to maximise the average number of eliminated overall N-qubit states, then individual measurements on each qubit are optimal.
