Abstract

In this brief report, we consider the equivalence between two sets of m+1m+1 bipartite quantum states under local unitary transformations. For pure states, this problem corresponds to the matrix algebra question of whether two degree mm matrix polynomials are unitarily equivalent; i.e. UAiV=BiUA_iV^\dagger=B_i for 0im0\leq i\leq m where UU and VV are unitary and (Ai,Bi)(A_i, B_i) are arbitrary pairs of rectangular matrices. We present a randomized polynomial-time algorithm that solves this problem with an arbitrarily high success probability and outputs transforming matrices UU and VV.
