Optimality of minimum-error discrimination by the no-signalling condition

Quantum Physics 2010-09-23 v2

Abstract

In this work we relate the well-known no-go theorem that two non-orthogonal (mixed) quantum states cannot be perfectly discriminated, to the general principle in physics, the no-signalling condition. In fact, we derive the minimum error in discrimination between two quantum states, using the no-signalling condition.
