We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a sequence of quantum measurements to achieve the optimal performance in quantum hypothesis testing. We discuss what quantum measurement we should perform in order to attain the optimal exponent of the second error probability under the condition that the first error probability goes to 0. As an asymptotically optimal measurement, we propose a projection-measurement characterized by the irreducible representation theory of the special linear group SL (H). Especially, in the spin-1/2 system, it is realized by the simultaneous measurement of the total momentum and a momentum of a specified direction. As a by-product, we obtain another proof of quantum Stein's lemma. In addition, an asymptotically optimal measurement is constructed in the quantum Gaussian case, and it is physically meaningful.
