• Abstract summary: We investigate a sequential scenario of quantum state discrimination with maximum confidence. We show that sequential state discrimination with equally high confidence can be realized only when positive-operator-valued measure elements for a maximum-confidence measurement are linearly independent.

• Abstract: Sequential quantum information processing may lie in the peaceful coexistence of no-go theorems on quantum operations, such as the no-cloning theorem, the monogamy of correlations, and the no-signalling principle. In this work, we investigate a sequential scenario of quantum state discrimination with maximum confidence, called maximum-confidence discrimination, which generalizes other strategies including minimum-error and unambiguous state discrimination. We show that sequential state discrimination with equally high confidence can be realized only when positive-operator-valued measure elements for a maximum-confidence measurement are linearly independent; otherwise, a party will have strictly less confidence in measurement outcomes than the previous one. We establish a tradeoff between the disturbance of states and information gain in sequential state discrimination, namely, that the less a party learn in state discrimination in terms of a guessing probability, the more parties can participate in the sequential scenario.

  We investigate coherence based on positive operator-valued measures (POVMs) as a resource for discriminating equally probable states of arbitrary dimension. We show that the POVM coherence in the assisted separation stage decomposes into a more elementary resource than quantum correlations. We discuss other general aspects of our results by characterizing the POVM coherence in the discrimination of qutrit states.

  We propose a novel framework for Concept-Level Uncertainty Estimation for Large Language Models (LLMs) We leverage LLMs to convert output sequences into concept-level representations, breaking down sequences into individual concepts and measuring the uncertainty of each concept separately. We conduct experiments to demonstrate that CLUE can provide more interpretable uncertainty estimation results compared with sentence-level uncertainty.

  We introduce a novel uncertainty measure based on self-consistency theory. We then develop a conformal uncertainty criterion by integrating the uncertainty condition aligned with correctness into the CP algorithm. Empirical evaluations indicate that our uncertainty measure outperforms prior state-of-the-art methods.

  We show that globally maximum confidence that cannot be achieved by local operations and classical communication strongly depends on the existence of entanglement witness. We establish a method in terms of entanglement witness to construct quantum state ensemble with nonlocal maximum confidences.

• When Does Confidence-Based Cascade Deferral Suffice? [69.28314307469381]
  Cascades are a classical strategy to enable inference cost to vary adaptively across samples. A deferral rule determines whether to invoke the next classifier in the sequence, or to terminate prediction. Despite being oblivious to the structure of the cascade, confidence-based deferral often works remarkably well in practice.

• Entanglement witness and multipartite quantum state discrimination [0.0]
  We consider multipartite quantum state discrimination and show that the minimum-error discrimination by separable measurements is closely related to the concept of entanglement witness. Based on the properties of entanglement witness, we establish some necessary and/or sufficient conditions on minimum-error discrimination by separable measurements.

  We consider a maximum confidence measurement that unifies different strategies of quantum state discrimination. We first show that maximum confidence discrimination, as well as unambiguous discrimination, contains contextual advantages. Our results establish how the advantages of quantum theory over a classical model may appear in a realistic scenario of a discrimination task.
