In quantum operations, probabilities characterise both the degree of the success of a state transformation and, as density operator eigenvalues, the degree of mixedness of the final state. We give a unified treatment of pure-to-pure state…
We investigate the speed limit of the state transformation in open quantum systems described by the Lindblad type quantum master equation. We obtain universal bounds of the total entropy production described by the trace distance between…
Entanglement and steering are used to describe quantum inseparabilities. Steerable states form a strict subset of entangled states. A natural question arises concerning how much territory steerability occupies entanglement for a general…
The apparent nonunitary evolution in the black hole information paradox and recent work on describing wavefunction collapse via nonunitary nonlinear stochastic operators has motivated us to analyze whether mixed states can be distinguished…
In real-world reinforcement learning (RL) systems, various forms of {\it impaired observability} can complicate matters. These situations arise when an agent is unable to observe the most recent state of the system due to latency or lossy…
A number of recent references have pointed out that an N-particle system having short-range interactions at S-wave and/or P-wave unitarity can exhibit modified threshold behavior for various reactive processes. But the question of how close…
Condition for distinguishability of countably infinite number of pure states by a single measurement is given. Distinguishability is to be understood as possibility of an unambiguous measurement. For finite number of states, it is known…
This paper develops a connection between the asymptotic stability of nonlinear filters and a notion of observability. We consider a general class of hidden Markov models in continuous time with compact signal state space, and call such a…
The so-called permutation separability criteria are simple operational conditions that are necessary for separability of mixed states of multipartite systems: (1) permute the indices of the density matrix and (2) check if the trace norm of…
We explore procedures to detect entanglement of unknown mixed states, which can be experimentally viable. The heart of the method is a hierarchy of simple feasibility problems, which provides sufficient conditions to entanglement. Our…
We study the problem of mapping an unknown mixed quantum state onto a known pure state without the use of unitary transformations. This is achieved with the help of sequential measurements of two non-commuting observables only. We show that…
In this paper, we study strong converse properties for both visible and blind compression of mixed states. The optimal rate of a visible compression scheme is obtained in terms of the entanglement of purification, whose additivity remains…
In this paper we consider the two major computational effects of states and exceptions, from the point of view of diagrammatic logics. We get a surprising result: there exists a symmetry between these two effects, based on the well-known…
Quantum mechanics forbids deterministic discrimination among non-orthogonal states. Nonetheless, the capability to distinguish nonorthogonal states unambiguously is an important primitive in quantum information processing. In this work, we…
We present observable lower and upper bounds for the entanglement of formation (EOF) and quantum discord (QD), which facilitates estimates of EOF and QD for arbitrary experimental unknown states in finite-dimensional bipartite systems.…
Motivated by its connection to the limit behaviour of imprecise Markov chains, we introduce and study the so-called convergence of upper transition operators: the condition that for any function, the orbit resulting from iterated…
We give a criterion of classicality for mixed states in terms of expectation values of a quantum observable. Using group representation theory we identify all cases when the criterion can be computed exactly in terms of the spectrum of a…
We prove upper bounds on the rate, called "mixing rate", at which the von Neumann entropy of the expected density operator of a given ensemble of states changes under non-local unitary evolution. For an ensemble consisting of two states,…
The optimal and minimal measuring strategy is obtained for a two-state system prepared in a mixed state with a probability given by any isotropic a priori distribution. We explicitly construct the specific optimal and minimal generalized…
Steerability is a characteristic nonlocal trait of quantum states lying in between entanglement and Bell nonlocality. A given quantum state is considered to be steerable if it violates a suitably chosen steering inequality. A quantum state…
