    "abstract": "Given a finite set of linearly independent quantum states, an observer who\nexamines a single quantum system may sometimes identify its state with\ncertainty. However, unless these quantum states are orthogonal, there is a\nfinite probability of failure. A complete solution is given to the problem of\noptimal distinction of three states, having arbitrary prior probabilities and\narbitrary detection values. A generalization to more than three states is\noutlined.",
