AI中文摘要：
量子态系综在量子信息处理中具有重要意义。例如，量子t-设计（quantum t-designs）用于描述复杂系统中的高度纠缠态，而投影系综（projected ensembles）则出现在生成式量子机器学习和热化研究中。这些系综的样本态附带经典标签，包含了超出其平均密度算符的操作信息；但系综与经典-量子态不同，因为它在标签置换下保持不变。我们针对有限量子系综之间的二元假设检验问题进行了研究，并推导了误差概率的基本极限。给定观测到的标签模式，我们证明联合采样态可由幂加权系综矩描述，这一描述得到了贝叶斯最优测量和精确的有限样本误差，揭示了区分性能由直至样本数的完整矩层级决定。在多样本极限下，我们推导了Chernoff界，并得到了有限均匀纯态系综的精确误差指数。我们将这些结果应用于光通信和t-设计：对于具有大t的有限均匀纯态t-设计，最大区分指数呈~t⁻²的尖锐尺度，而等先验固定误差检验则需要~t²个样本。
英文摘要：
Quantum state ensembles are important in quantum information processing. For example, quantum $t$-designs model highly entangled states in complex systems, while projected ensembles appear in generative quantum machine learning and studies of thermalization. With their sample state accompanied by a classical label, these ensembles contain operational information beyond their average density operators. Yet an ensemble differs from a classical-quantum state because it is invariant under permutations of labels. We formulate binary hypothesis testing between finite quantum ensembles and derive fundamental limits on error probability. Given an observed label pattern, we show that the joint sampled state can be described by power-weighted ensemble moments. This yields the Bayes-optimal measurement and exact finite-sample error, revealing that discrimination is governed by the full moment hierarchy up to the number of samples. In the many-sample limit, we derive Chernoff bounds and obtain exact error exponents for finite uniform pure-state ensembles. We apply these results to optical communication and $t$-designs. For finite uniform pure-state $t$-designs with large $t$, the maximal discrimination exponent scales sharply as $\sim t^{-2}$, while equal-prior fixed-error testing requires $\sim t^2$ samples.
