The absence of information -- entirely or partly -- is called ignorance. Naturally, one might ask if some ignorance of a whole system will imply some ignorance of its parts. Our classical intuition tells us yes, however quantum theory tells us no: it is possible to encode information in a quantum system so that despite some ignorance of the whole, it is impossible to identify the unknown part arXiv:1011.6448. Experimentally verifying this counter-intuitive fact requires controlling and measuring quantum systems of high dimension $(d {>} 9)$. We provide this experimental evidence using the transverse spatial modes of light, a powerful resource for testing high dimensional quantum phenomenon.

Distinguishability of quantum states under restricted families of measurements with an application to quantum data hiding
固定量子系统上的每一个足够丰富的测量集合通过最佳偏差定义了该系统状态的统计范数,该最佳偏差可以在使用来自该集合的测量区分状态时实现(假设相等的先验)。Holevo-Helstrom定理说,对于所有测量的集合,这个范数是迹范数。对于有限维,任何范数的下限和上限都是由迹范数的常数(尽管依赖于维数)的倍数来限定的,因此我们为自己设定了计算或限定最佳可能的“支配常数”的任务,这些常数对应于各种受限的测量集合,从而确定这些集合相对于所有测量集合的最坏情况和最好情况性能。我们看看的情况下,允许的集合由一个单一的测量,即均匀随机连续POVM及其近似2-设计和4-设计分别。在这里,我们发现渐近紧的优势常数的界限。此外,我们分析了多方设置与任何LOCC测量允许。在两个当事人的情况下,我们表明,较低的控制常数是相同的张量积的局部均匀随机POVMs(常数)。这肯定地回答了一个关于二分数据隐藏的(接近)最优性的公开问题:LOCC在区分d x d二分系统的两个正交状态时可以实现的偏差是Omega(1/d),这是已知的紧。最后,我们使用我们的分析,以获得任何这样的测量的确定性关系(在桑切斯-鲁伊斯的意义上)和下界的局部可访问的信息的二分系统。
