• Abstract: Nonorthogonal quantum state discrimination (QSD) plays an important role in quantum information and quantum communication. In addition, compared to Hermitian quantum systems, parity-time-($\mathcal{PT}$-)symmetric non-Hermitian quantum systems exhibit novel phenomena and have attracted considerable attention. Here, we experimentally demonstrate QSD in a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric system (i.e., $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric QSD), by having quantum states evolve under a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian in a lossy linear optical setup. We observe that two initially nonorthogonal states can rapidly evolve into orthogonal states, and the required evolution time can even be vanishing provided the matrix elements of the Hamiltonian become sufficiently large. We also observe that the cost of such a discrimination is a dissipation of quantum states into the environment. Furthermore, by comparing $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric QSD with optimal strategies in Hermitian systems, we find that at the critical value, $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric QSD is equivalent to the optimal unambiguous state discrimination in Hermitian systems. We also extend the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric QSD to the case of discriminating three nonorthogonal states. The QSD in a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric system opens a new door for quantum state discrimination, which has important applications in quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum communication.

  We study the power of unentangled quantum proofs with non-negative amplitudes, a class which we denote $textQMA+(2)$. In particular, we design global protocols for small set expansion, unique games, and PCP verification. We show that QMA(2) is equal to $textQMA+(2)$ provided the gap of the latter is a sufficiently large constant.

We propose the effective quantum neural tangent kernel (EQNTK) to quantify the convergence of QNNs towards the global optima.

  In a regular Hermitian quantum mechanics, the successful discrimination is possible with the probability $p 1$. In $mathcalPT$-symmetric quantum mechanics a textitsimulated single-measurement quantum state discrimination with the success rate $p$ can be done. We discuss the relation of our approach with the recent implementation of $mathcalPT$ symmetry on the IBM quantum processor.
