It is shown that different distinguishability measures impose different orderings on ensembles of $N$ pure quantum states. This is demonstrated using ensembles of equally-probable, linearly independent, symmetrical pure states, with the…

We address the "major open problem" of evaluating how much increased efficiency in estimation is possible using non-separable, as opposed to separable, measurements of N copies of m-level quantum systems. First, we study the six cases m =…

It is known that the empirical spectral distribution of random matrices obtained from linear codes of increasing length converges to the well-known Marchenko-Pastur law, if the Hamming distance of the dual codes is at least 5. In this…

We define the geometric measure of mixing of quantum state as a minimal Hilbert-Schmidt distance between the mixed state and a set of pure states. An explicit expression for the geometric measure is obtained. It is interesting that this…

The study of properties of randomly chosen quantum states has in recent years led to many insights into quantum entanglement. In this work, we study private quantum states from this point of view. Private quantum states are bipartite…

We consider decision problems on finite sets of hypotheses represented by pairwise different shift-invariant states on a quantum spin chain. The decision in favor of one of the hypotheses is based on outputs of generalized measurements…

Distances between probability distributions that take into account the geometry of their sample space,like the Wasserstein or the Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) distances have received a lot of attention in machine learning as they can, for…

We consider two variants of a quantum-statistical generalization of the Cramer-Rao inequality that establishes an invariant lower bound on the mean square error of a generalized quantum measurement. The proposed complex variant of this…

We consider the problem of detecting the true quantum state among $r$ possible ones, based of measurements performed on $n$ copies of a finite-dimensional quantum system. A special case is the problem of discriminating between $r$…

Distances between probability distributions are a key component of many statistical machine learning tasks, from two-sample testing to generative modeling, among others. We introduce a novel distance between measures that compares them…

The distillable randomness of a bipartite quantum state is an information-theoretic quantity equal to the largest net rate at which shared randomness can be distilled from the state by means of local operations and classical communication.…

Every quantum state can be represented as a probability distribution over the outcomes of an informationally complete measurement. But not all probability distributions correspond to quantum states. Quantum state space may thus be thought…
