    "abstract": "We consider the problem of designing a measurement to minimize the\nprobability of a detection error when distinguishing between a collection of\npossibly non-orthogonal mixed quantum states. We show that if the quantum state\nensemble consists of linearly independent density operators then the optimal\nmeasurement is an orthogonal Von Neumann measurement consisting of mutually\northogonal projection operators and not a more general positive operator-valued\nmeasure.",
