Qubit State Discrimination

Quantum Physics 2010-06-28 v2

Abstract

We show how one can solve the problem of discriminating between qubit states. We use the quantum state discrimination duality theorem and the Bloch sphere representation of qubits which allows for an easy geometric and analytical representation of the optimal guessing strategies.
