Unambiguous discrimination of many mixed states — •Matthias Kleinmann, Hermann Kampermann, and Dagmar Bruß — Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, Institut für Theoretische Physik III, Universitätsstraße 1, 40225 Düsseldorf

While the optimal unambiguous discrimination of two mixed states has already attracted considerable attention, only a few results [1,2] are known for the optimal case of more than two mixed states. We show that many concepts and some classes of optimal solutions known from the two-state case [3] can be generalized to the many-state case.
