All sets of incompatible measurements give an advantage in quantum state discrimination
arXiv:1901.00816 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.130403
Abstract
Some quantum measurements can not be performed simultaneously, i.e. they are incompatible. Here we show that every set of incompatible measurements provides an advantage over compatible ones in a suitably chosen quantum state discrimination task. This is proven by showing that the Robustness of Incompatibility, a quantifier of how much noise a set of measurements tolerates before becoming compatible, has an operational interpretation as the advantage in an optimally chosen discrimination task. We also show that if we take a resource-theory perspective of measurement incompatibility, then the guessing probability in discrimination tasks of this type forms a complete set of monotones that completely characterize the partial order in the resource theory. Finally, we make use of previously known relations between measurement incompatibility and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering to also relate the later with quantum state discrimination.
