Which observables should one measure in order to discriminate experimentally a state against another class of states? We will consider the case that this class is given by states that can be transformed into each other by local unitaries, or by SLOCCs (cf. [1]). We are interested in experimentally feasible measurement strategies that use a small number of measurement settings. In this talk we will argue that the relative entropy, which has previously been used to assess the statistical strength of nonlocality proofs [2], gives a measure for the certainty with which a given set of observables allows us to discriminate states. We apply this measure to graph states and the measurement of their stabilizing operators. It will be shown how the stabilizer formalism helps to compute this measure and how to find sets of observables that give maximal certainty.
