Bipartite quantum state discrimination and decomposable entanglement witness (2212.10799v2)

Abstract: We consider bipartite quantum state discrimination using positive-partial-transpose measurements and show that minimum-error discrimination by positive-partial-transpose measurements is closely related to entanglement witness. By using the concept of decomposable entanglement witness, we establish conditions on minimum-error discrimination by positive-partial-transpose measurements. We also provide conditions on the upper bound of the maximum success probability over all possible positive-partial-transpose measurements. Finally, we illustrate our results using examples of multidimensional bipartite quantum states.
