The distinguishability as a function of S_x for a given β = π/4 (solid line), β = π/2 (dash line), β = 3π/4 (dotted line) with A = 1/3 (a) and A = 4/5 (c). The distinguishability as a function of β for a given S_x = −0.5 (solid line), S_x = 0 (dash line), S_x = 0.5 (dotted line) with A = 1/3 (b) and A = 4/5 (d).
