Geometrically based tutorial on quantum state discrimination #1358

Description

@vprusso

The book Geometry of Quantum States contains a rich source of geometrically-focused examples on problems that arise in the study of quantum states.

It would be nice to consider some specifically "well-structured and interesting" sets of states (e.g. SIC-POVMs) as a foundation for a tutorial that uses the various state-specific functionality in toqito for things like quantum state discrimination on these well-structured and interesting states.

For instance, there is a Mathematica-based notebook that shows a list of some known SIC-POVMs:

However, the notebook doesn't contain much in the way of description about the states, how they tie into QSD, etc.

One could also consult a paper like the following for some specific examples of settings/problems that may be of interest to showcase, consider, etc. and how they can potentially be geometrically (or just visually) depicted in the context of a tutorial:
