摘要
We consider quantum-memory assisted protocols for discriminating quantum channels. We show that for optimal discrimination of memory channels, memory assisted protocols are needed. This leads to a new notion of distance for channels with memory, based on the general theory of quantum testers. For discrimination and estimation of sets of independent unitary channels, we prove optimality of parallel protocols among all possible architectures.
