Local hypothesis testing between a pure bipartite state and the white noise state

arXiv:1006.2744 · doi:10.1109/TIT.2015.2492958

Abstract

In this paper, we treat a local discrimination problem in the framework of asymmetric hypothesis testing. We choose a known bipartite pure state as an alternative hypothesis, and the completely mixed state as a null hypothesis. As a result, we analytically derive an optimal type 2 error and an optimal POVM for one-way LOCC POVM and Separable POVM. For two-way LOCC POVM, we study a family of simple three-step LOCC protocols, and show that the best protocol in this family has strictly better performance than any one-way LOCC protocol in all the cases where there may exist difference between two-way LOCC POVM and one-way LOCC POVM.
