Abstracts:
We study the distinguishability norms associated to
families of locally restricted POVMs on multipartite systems. These
norms (introduced by Matthews, Wehner and Winter) quantify how quantum
measurements, subject to locality constraints, perform in the task of
discriminating two multipartite quantum states. We mainly address the
following question regarding the behaviour of these distinguishability
norms in the highdimensional regime: On a bipartite space, what are the
relative strengths of standard classes of locally restricted
measurements? We show that the class of PPT measurements typically
performs almost as well as the class of all measurements whereas
restricting to local measurements and classical communication, or even
just to separable measurements, implies a substantial loss. We also
provide examples of state pairs which can be perfectly distinguished by
local measurements if (one-way) classical communication is allowed
between the parties, but very poorly without it. Finally, we study how
many POVMs are needed to distinguish almost perfectly any pair of states
on Cd, showing that the answer is exp(Θ(d 2 )).
