讲座内容：Distinguishability of unitary operations is fundamental in quantum computation and information.For example,the Duetsch-Jozsa algirithm is essentially to distinguish two set of unitary operations (Oracle operators).Local distinguishability of bipartite unitary operations has recently received much attention. A nontrivial and interesting question concerning this subject is whether there is a sequential scheme for locally discriminating between two  bipartite unitary operations, because a sequential scheme usually represents the most economic strategy for discrimination. An affirmative answer to this question was given  in our previous work, however with two limitations: (i) the  unitary operations  to be discriminated were limited to act on $d\otimes d$, i.e., a two-qudit system, and (ii) the inverses of the unitary operations  were assumed to be  accessible, although this assumption may be unrealizable in experiment. Thus, recently we have improved the result by removing the two limitations. Specifically, we show that any two  bipartite unitary operations acting on $d_A\otimes d_B$ can be locally discriminated by a sequential scheme, without using the inverses of the unitary operations. Therefore, this work enhances  the applicability and feasibility of the sequential scheme for locally discriminating unitary operations. In this talk, we will discuss the above results in detail.
