Lowering Helstrom Bound with non-standard coherent states

International audienceIn quantum information processing, {using a receiver device to differentiate between two nonorthogonal states leads to a quantum error probability. The minimum possible error is} known as the Helstrom bound. In this work we study and compare quantum limits for states which generalize the Glauber-Sudarshan coherent states, like non-linear, Perelomov, Barut-Girardello, and (modified) Susskind-Glogower coherent states. For some of these, we show that the Helstrom bound can be significantly lowered and even vanish in specific regimes
