给定一个未知量子信道的多次使用，我们判定它是某个指定的非混合酉信道，还是属于混合酉信道集合。将此表述为一个复合信道假设检验问题，我们刻画了在逐步放宽探针态和辅助存储限制的条件下，并行策略所能达到的Stein指数。特别地，我们考虑块独立同分布（block-i.i.d.）探针，它允许固定大小块内存在任意关联，而块间保持独立同分布，并推导出相应Stein指数的有限字母表达式。改变块大小（这可在完全独立同分布探针与任意探针之间插值），再加上对块内关联和辅助存储访问的进一步限制，产生了一个多层次的层级结构。我们在此层级结构内建立了若干严格分离。在没有辅助存储的情况下，我们证明对于每个酉保持的非混合酉信道，完全独立同分布探针产生消失的Stein指数，而三个乘积探针组成的块足以对qutrit Werner-Holevo信道获得严格正的指数。对于块大小为2的情况，尽管乘积探针似乎对O(3)-协变信道不足，但纠缠探针对qutrit Werner-Holevo信道实现了严格正的指数，即使每个最大纠缠探针都失败。相反，辅助存储使完全独立同分布探针变得充分，因为它对每个非混合酉信道都产生严格正的指数，甚至不需要输入-参考纠缠，并且该指数有一个由到混合酉集合的钻石范数距离决定的下界。此外，对于奇数维Werner-Holevo信道，我们发现该指数是无穷大的，且每个满Schmidt秩纯态都是最优的。
英文摘要
Given multiple uses of an unknown quantum channel, we determine whether it is a specified non-mixed-unitary channel or belongs to the set of mixed-unitary channels. Formulating this as a composite channel hypothesis testing problem, we characterize the Stein exponents achievable by parallel strategies under progressively weaker restrictions on probe states and auxiliary memory. In particular, we consider block-i.i.d. probes, which allow arbitrary correlations within blocks of fixed size while remaining i.i.d. across different blocks, and derive finite-letter expressions of the corresponding Stein exponents. Varying the block size, which interpolates between fully i.i.d. and arbitrary probes, together with further restrictions on intra-block correlations and access to auxiliary memory, results in a multifaceted hierarchy. We establish several strict separations within this hierarchy. Without auxiliary memory, we prove that fully i.i.d. probes yield a vanishing Stein exponent for every unital non-mixed-unitary channel, while blocks of three product probes suffice to obtain a strictly positive exponent for the qutrit Werner-Holevo channel. For block size two, although product probes seem to be insufficient for $O(3)$-covariant channels, an entangled probe achieves a strictly positive exponent for the qutrit Werner-Holevo channel, even though every maximally entangled probe fails. In contrast, access to auxiliary memory makes fully i.i.d. probes sufficient by yielding a strictly positive exponent for every non-mixed-unitary channel, even without requiring input-reference entanglement, and this exponent admits a lower bound determined by the diamond-norm distance from the mixed-unitary set. Moreover, for odd-dimensional Werner-Holevo channels, we find that this exponent is infinite, with every full-Schmidt-rank pure state being optimal.
