• Abstract: We consider the problem of determining the state of an unknown quantum sequence without error. The elements of the given sequence are drawn with equal probability from a known set of linearly independent pure quantum states with the property that their mutual inner products are all real and equal. This problem can be posed as an instance of unambiguous state discrimination where the states correspond to that of all possible sequences having the same length as the given one. We calculate the optimum probability by solving the optimality conditions of a semidefinite program. The optimum value is achievable by measuring individual members of the sequence, and no collective measurement is necessary.

• Optimal discrimination of quantum sequences [13.39567116041819]
  Key concept of quantum information theory is that accessing information encoded in a quantum system requires us to discriminate between several possible states the system could be in. In this paper, we prove that if the members of a given sequence are drawn secretly and independently from an ensemble or even from different ensembles, the optimum success probability is achievable by fixed local measurements on the individual members of the sequence.

  The dimension of a quantum state is traditionally seen as the number of superposed distinguishable states in a given basis. We propose an absolute, i.e.basis-independent, notion of dimensionality for ensembles of quantum states.

  Reconstruction of quantum states from experimental measurements is crucial for the verification and benchmarking of quantum devices. Many physical quantum states, such as states generated by noisy, intermediate-scale quantum computers, are usually structured. We establish theoretical guarantees for the stable recovery of MPOs using tools from compressive sensing and the theory of empirical processes.

  We compare different criteria, namely quantum discord, Bell inequality violation and non-separability, for systems placed in a Gaussian state. We prove that these criteria are essentially controlled by the semi-minor axis of the ellipse representing the state's Wigner function in phase space.

• Stochastic approximate state conversion for entanglement and general quantum resource theories [41.94295877935867]
  An important problem in any quantum resource theory is to determine how quantum states can be converted into each other. Very few results have been presented on the intermediate regime between probabilistic and approximate transformations. We show that these bounds imply an upper bound on the rates for various classes of states under probabilistic transformations. We also show that the deterministic version of the single copy bounds can be applied for drawing limitations on the manipulation of quantum channels.

• 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.
