摘要:

A fundamental problem in quantum information processing is the discrimination among a set of orthogonal
quantum states of a composite system under local operations and classical communication (LOCC). Corresponding
to the LOCC indistinguishable sets of four ququad-ququad orthogonal maximally entangled states
constructed by Yu et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 020506 (2012)], the maximum commutative sets were introduced
as detectors for the local distinguishability of the set of generalized Bell states (GBSs) for which the detectors
are sufficient to determine the LOCC distinguishability. In this work, we show how to determine all the detectors
for a given GBS set. We also construct several four-GBS sets without detectors, most of which are one-way
LOCC indistinguishable and only one of which is one-way LOCC distinguishable, indicating that the detectors
are not necessary for LOCC distinguishability. Furthermore, we show that for four-GBS sets in the quantum
system C6 ⊗ C6, the detectors are almost necessary for one-way LOCC distinguishability, except for one set
in the sense of local unitary equivalence. The problem of one-way LOCC discrimination of four-GBS sets in

C6 ⊗ C6 is completely resolved.
