Role of Hypothesis Testing in Quantum Information

Understand

Recently, it is well recognized that hypothesis testing has deep relations with other topics in quantum information theory as well as in classical information theory.

• These relations enable us to derive precise evaluation in the finite-length setting.
• However, such usefulness of hypothesis testing is not limited to information theoretical topics.
• For example, it can be used for verification of entangled state and quantum computer as well as guaranteeing the security of keys generated via quantum key distribution.
