โœฆ Synopsis

Quantum theory restricts our ability to determine the state of a physical system. This is true even if we know for certain that it was prepared in one of a known set of possible states. I describe two types of optimal strategy for state discrimination. These are (i) state discrimination with minimum probability of error and (ii) unambiguous or error-free state discrimination.

We derive the general discrimination of quantum states chosen from a certain set, given an initial M copies of each state, and obtain the matrix inequality which describes the bound between the maximum probability of correctly determining and that of error. The former works are special cases of our

Since the state of a quantum system is not an observable, it cannot be determined completely, in principle, if no a priori information is available. In this case, one needs to resort to various estimation strategies. The situation is completely different if a priori knowledge is available. Even unam

Dynamical systems on ''continuum'' Hilbert spaces may be realized as limits of dynamical systems on ''discrete'' (possibly finite-dimensional) Hilbert spaces. In this first of four papers on the topic, the ''continuum'' and ''discrete'' spaces are interfaced to one another algebraically, convergence
