Economical standard quantum process tomography

Xiaohua Wu, Ke Xu

Recently, Bendersky \emph{et al.} developed a method to complete the task of characterizing an arbitrary $χ$ matrix element in a scalable way, Phys. Rev. Lett. Vol. \textbf{100}, 190403(2008), where an auxiliary system was needed. In present work, we shall show that the same task can also be completed within the scheme of standard quantum process tomography (SQPT) where there is no requirement for ancilla. Our method depends on two observations: With the elaborately chosen operators basis, the SQPT may have an economical form where a single run of experiment, in which we measure the expectation value of a chosen operator in the outport of the quantum channel with a known input, is sufficient to characterize a selected $χ$ matrix element; With the progress recently achieved in quantum entanglement detection, we also find that the number of the experimental settings to realize the experiment for the selected $χ$ matrix element does not exceed 2N for the N-qubits system. For practice, our scheme can be applied for the cases where the controlled two-body interaction is neither available nor desirable.

The Vector representation of the Standard Quantum Process Tomography

Xiaohua, Wu

The characterization of the evolution of a quantum system is one of the main tasks to accomplish to achieve quantum information processing. The standard quantum process tomography (SQPT) has the unique property that it can be applied without introducing any additional quantum resources. In present work, we shall focus on the following two topics about the SQPT. At first, in the SQPT protocol for a $d$-dimensional system, one should encounter a problem in solving of a set of $d^4$ linear equations in order to get the matrix containing the complete information about the unknown quantum channel. Until now, the general form of the solution is unknown. And a long existed conviction is that the solutions are not unique. Here, we shall develop a self-consistent scheme, in which bounded linear operators are presented by vectors, to construct the set of linear equations. With the famous Cramer's rule for the set of linear equations, we are able to give the general form of the solution and prove that it is unique. In second, the central idea of the SQPT is to prepare a set of linearly independent inputs and measuring the outputs via the quantum state tomography (QST). Letting the inputs and the measurements be prepared by two sets of the rank-one positive-operator-valued measures [POVMs], where each POVM is supposed to be linearly independent and informationally complete (IC), we observe that SQPT now is equivalent to deciding a unknown state with a set of product IC-POVM in the $d^2$-dimensional Hilbert space. Following the general linear state tomography theory, we show that the product symmetric IC-POVM should minimize the mean-square Hilbert-Schmidt distance between the estimator and the true states. So, an optimal SQPT can be realized by preparing both the inputs and the measurements as the symmetric IC-POVM.

Implementing efficient selective quantum process tomography of superconducting quantum gates on IBM quantum experience

The experimental implementation of selective quantum process tomography (SQPT) involves computing individual elements of the process matrix with the help of a special set of states called quantum 2-design states. However, the number of experimental settings required to prepare input states from quantum 2-design states to selectively and precisely compute a desired element of the process matrix is still high, and hence constructing the corresponding unitary operations in the lab is a daunting task. In order to reduce the experimental complexity, we mathematically reformulated the standard SQPT problem, which we term the modified SQPT (MSQPT) method. We designed the generalized quantum circuit to prepare the required set of input states and formulated an efficient measurement strategy aimed at minimizing the experimental cost of SQPT. We experimentally demonstrated the MSQPT protocol on the IBM QX2 cloud quantum processor and selectively characterized various two- and three-qubit quantum gates.
