| contents | Quantum state discrimination between two wave functions on a ring is considered. The optimal minimum-error probability is known to be given by the Helstrom bound. A new strategy is introduced by inserting instantaneously two impenetrable barriers dividing the ring into two chambers. In the process, the candidate wave functions, as the insertion points become nodes, get entangled with the barriers and can, if judiciously chosen, be distinguished with smaller error probability. As a consequence, the Helstrom bound under idealised conditions can be violated. |
