• Abstract: Two pure orthogonal quantum states can be perfectly distinguished by sequential local action of multiple pairs of parties. However, this process typically leads to the complete dissolution of entanglement in the states being discriminated. We propose a protocol that allows an arbitrary number of pairs of parties to distinguish between any two orthogonal, entangled, two-qubit pure states using local quantum operations and classical communication, with a success probability greater than that of random guessing, while ensuring that at each step, the individual ensemble states retain a finite amount of entanglement. Our protocol employs the minimum-error state discrimination approach. For demonstrating the retention of entanglement in the ensemble states at each step, we use logarithmic negativity as well as the concept of entanglement witnessing. For a large family of sets of the two states, the success probability of discrimination can be as close as required to unity, while sustaining a finite amount of entanglement in each step.

• Minimal-error quantum state discrimination versus robustness of entanglement:More indistinguishability with less entanglement [0.0]
  We relate the distinguishability of quantum states with their robustness of the entanglement, where the robustness of any resource quantifies how tolerant it is to noise. We identify upper and lower bounds on the probability of discriminating the states, appearing in an arbitrary multiparty ensemble. We numerically explore how tight the bounds are by examining the global discrimination probability of states selected from Haar-uniformly generated ensembles of two two-qubit states.

Based on the properties of entanglement witness, we establish some necessary and/or sufficient conditions on minimum-error discrimination by separable measurements.

• Local approximation for perfect discrimination of quantum states [0.0]
  Quantum state discrimination involves identifying a given state out of a set of possible states. In the case of multipartite systems when the parties are constrained to use multiple rounds of local operations and classical communication (LOCC), perfect state discrimination is often impossible.

• 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.
