Unambiguous discrimination between quantum mixed states
arXiv:quant-ph/0403147 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.70.012308
Abstract
We prove that the states secretly chosen from a mixed state set can be perfectly discriminated if and only if these states are orthogonal. The sufficient and necessary condition when nonorthogonal quantum mixed states can be unambiguously discriminated is also presented. Furthermore, we derive a series of lower bounds on the inconclusive probability of unambiguous discrimination of states from a mixed state set with \textit{a prior} probabilities.
