A basic property of distinguishability is that it is non-increasing under further quantum operations. Following this, we generalize two measures of distinguishability of pure states--fidelity and von Neumann entropy, to mixed states as…

We give and prove an optimal exact quantum query algorithm with complexity $k+1$ for computing the promise problem (i.e., symmetric and partial Boolean function) $DJ_n^k$ defined as: $DJ_n^k(x)=1$ for $|x|=n/2$, $DJ_n^k(x)=0$ for $|x|$ in…
