Non-commutativity and Local Indistinguishability of Quantum States

Teng Ma, Ming-Jing Zhao, Yao-Kun Wang and Shao-Ming Fei

Abstract

We study the local indistinguishability problem of quantum states. By introducing an easily calculated quantity, non-commutativity, we present an criterion which is both necessary and sufficient for the local indistinguishability of a complete set of pure orthogonal product states. A constructive distinguishing procedure to obtain the concrete local measurements and classical communications is given. The non-commutativity of ensembles can be also used to characterize the quantumness for classical-quantum or quantum-classical correlated states.
