Abstract:
Originated from the superposition principle in quantum mechanics, coherence
has been extensively studied as a kind important resource in quantum information processing.
We investigate the distinguishability of coherence-breaking channels
with the help of quantum entanglement. By explicitly computing the minimal error probability of
channel discrimination, it is shown that entanglement can enhance the capacity of channel distinguishability.
