Operator and Graph Theoretic Techniques for Distinguishing Quantum States via One-Way LOCC

Quantum Physics 2021-10-18 v1

Abstract

We bring together in one place some of the main results and applications from our recent works in quantum information theory, in which we have brought techniques from operator theory, operator algebras, and graph theory for the first time to investigate the topic of distinguishability of sets of quantum states in quantum communication, with particular reference to the framework of one-way local quantum operations and classical communication (LOCC). We also derive a new graph-theoretic description of distinguishability in the case of a single qubit sender.
