Optimal detection of quantum information
Abstract
Two quantum systems are identically prepared in different locations. An observer's task is to determine their state. A simple example shows that a pair of measurements of the von Neumann type is less effective than a sequence of nonorthogonal probability-operator measures, alternating between the two quantum systems. However, the most efficient set of operations of that type that we were able to design falls short of a single combined measurement, performed on both system together.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
