Abstract

The are substantial studies on distinguishabilities, especially local distinguishability, of quantum states. It is shown that a necessary condition of a local distinguishable state set is the total Schmidt rank not larger than the system dimension. However, if we view states in a larger system, the restriction will be invalid. Hence, a nature problem is that can indistinguishable states become distinguishable by viewing them in a larger system without employing extra resources. In this paper, we consider this problem for (perfect or unambiguous) LOCC1_{1}, PPT and SEP distinguishabilities. We demonstrate that if a set of states is indistinguishable in k=1KCdk\otimes _{k=1}^{K} C^{d _{k}}, then it is indistinguishable even being viewed in k=1KCdk+hk\otimes _{k=1}^{K} C^{d _{k}+h _{k}}, where K,dk2,hk0K, d _{k}\geqslant2, h _{k}\geqslant0 are integers. This shows that such distinguishabilities are properties of states themselves and independent of the dimension of quantum system. Our result gives the maximal numbers of LOCC1_{1} distinguishable states and can be employed to construct a LOCC indistinguishable product basis in general systems. Our result is suitable for general states in general systems. For further discussions, we define the local-global indistinguishable property and present a conjecture.
