• Title: Optimal discrimination of quantum sequences
• Authors: Tathagata Gupta, Shayeef Murshid, Vincent Russo, Somshubhro Bandyopadhyay,
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: A 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. A natural generalization of this problem, namely, quantum sequence discrimination, appears in various quantum information processing tasks, the objective being to determine the state of a finite sequence of quantum states. Since such a sequence is a composite quantum system, the fundamental question is whether an optimal measurement is local, i.e., comprising measurements on the individual members, or collective, i.e. requiring joint measurement(s). In some known instances of this problem, the optimal measurement is local, whereas in others, it is collective. But, so far, a definite prescription based solely on the problem description has been lacking. 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, and no collective measurement is necessary. This holds for both minimum-error and unambiguous state discrimination paradigms.

  We study the identification of quantum phases of matter, at zero temperature, when only part of the phase diagram is known in advance. We show how to use our previous knowledge to construct an observable capable of classifying the phase even in the unknown region. An important application of our findings is the classification of the phases of matter obtained in quantum simulators.

  Quantum non-demolition measurements define a non-invasive protocol to extract information from a quantum system. This protocol leads to a quasi-probability distribution for the measured observable outcomes, which can be negative. We show that there are situations in which Leggett-Garg inequalities are satisfied even if the macrorealism condition is violated.
