When the interaction between the object and probe wave function takes place only once, we prove the necessary and sufficient condition that the object's presence can be detected in an initial state preserving way. Meanwhile, a conditioned optimal interrogation probability is obtained.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2002-10-29T08:46:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum system", "nondistortion interrogation", "conditioned optimal interrogation probability", "initial state preserving way", "probe wave function" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
