abstract

It is a fundamental consequence of the superposition principle for quantum states that there must exist non-orthogonal states, that is states that, although different, have a non-zero overlap. This finite overlap means that there is no way of determining with certainty in which of two such states a given physical system has been prepared. We review the various strategies that have been devised to discriminate optimally between non-orthogonal states and some of the optical experiments that have been performed to realise these.

The most discriminable quantum states in the multicopy regime

quant-ph · 2026-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

k-designs achieve maximal multi-copy discriminability for pure states when N suffices, mixed states outperform beyond that, and quantum offers quadratic advantage over classical in Bayes capacity terms.

Nonlinear Hamiltonians and Boolean satisfiability

quant-ph · 2026-05-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Nonlinear Hamiltonians on ancilla qubits enable efficient solution of UNIQUE SAT with ⟨σ^z⟩σ^z, 3SAT with ⟨σ^x⟩σ^y - ⟨σ^y⟩σ^x, and #SAT with ⟨σ^y⟩⟨σ^z⟩σ^x - ⟨σ^x⟩⟨σ^z⟩σ^y nonlinearity.

From spin squeezing to fast state discrimination

quant-ph · 2024-10-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In the large-N limit, spin squeezing torsion yields a nonlinear qubit governed by the two-state Gross-Pitaevskii equation that solves single-input state discrimination on the Bloch sphere.
