Abstract
We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a sequence of quantum measurements to achieve the optimal performance in quantum hypothesis testing. We discuss what quantum measurement we should perform in order to attain the optimal exponent of the second error probability under the condition that the first error probability goes to 0. As an asymptotically optimal measurement, we propose a projection measurement characterized by the irreducible representation theory of the special linear group SL(). Especially, in the spin-1/2 system, it is realized by the simultaneous measurement of the total momentum and a momentum of a specified direction. As a by-product, we obtain another proof of quantum Stein's lemma. In addition, an asymptotically optimal measurement is constructed in the quantum Gaussian case, and it is physically meaningful.

A Hierarchy of Information Quantities for Finite Block Length Analysis of Quantum Tasks

TL;DR: The derivation establishes a hierarchy of information quantities that can be used to investigate information theoretic tasks in the quantum domain: the one-shot entropies most accurately describe an operational quantity, yet they tend to be difficult to calculate for large systems.

Quantum Hypothesis Testing and the Operational Interpretation of the Quantum Rényi Relative Entropies

TL;DR: This work shows that the new quantum extension of Rényi’s α-relative entropies have an operational interpretation in the strong converse problem of quantum hypothesis testing, and obtains a new simple proof for their monotonicity under completely positive trace-preserving maps.

An Information-Spectrum Approach to Classical and Quantum Hypothesis Testing for Simple Hypotheses

TL;DR: In this paper, the information-spectrum analysis made by Han for classical hypothesis testing for simple hypotheses is extended to a unifying framework including both classical and quantum hypothesis testing, and the results are also applied to fixed-length source coding when loosening the normalizing condition for probability distributions and for quantum states.

Microcanonical and resource-theoretic derivations of the thermal state of a quantum system with noncommuting charges

TL;DR: This work defines a resource-theory model for thermodynamic exchanges of noncommuting observables and investigates the thermal state of the grand canonical ensemble, which is expected to be the equilibrium point of typical dynamics.

The classical groups : their invariants and representations

Hermann Weyl
TL;DR: Weyl as discussed by the authors discusses the symmetric, full linear, orthogonal, and symplectic groups and determines their different invariants and representations using basic concepts from algebra, and examines the various properties of the groups.

Representations and invariants of the classical groups

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic structure of classical groups is described as linear algebraic groups and representations of these groups are described. But the representation of these representations is not defined. And the representation is not restricted to linear groups, but also to algebraic algebras.

The Proper Formula for Relative Entropy and its Asymptotics in Quantum Probability

TL;DR: Umegaki's relative entropyS(ω,ϕ)=TrDω(logDω−logDϕ) (of states ω and ϕ with density operatorsDω andD ϕ, respectively) is shown to be an asymptotic exponent considered from the quantum hypothesis testing viewpoint.
