Discriminating mixed qubit states with collective measurements
Abstract It is a central fact in quantum mechanics that non-orthogonal states cannot be distinguished perfectly. In general, the optimal measurement for distinguishing such states is a collective measurement. However, to the best our knowledge, collective measurements have not been used to enhance q...
