Optimum phase space probabilities from quantum tomography

Arunabha S. Roy, Shasanka Mohan Roy

We determine a positive normalised phase space probability distribution P with minimum mean square fractional deviation from the Wigner distribution W. The minimum deviation, an invariant under phase space rotations, is a quantitative measure of the quantumness of the state. The positive distribution closest to W will be useful in quantum mechanics and in time frequency analysis. The position-momentum correlations given by the distribution can be tested experimentally in quantum optics.

Experimental Realization of Quantum Tomography of Photonic Qudits via Symmetric Informationally Complete Positive Operator-Valued Measures

Nicolas Bent, Hammam Qassim, A. A. Tahir +5 more

Symmetric informationally complete positive operator-valued measures provide efficient quantum state tomography in any finite dimension.In this work, we implement state tomography using symmetric informationally complete positive operator-valued measures for both pure and mixed photonic qudit states in Hilbert spaces of orbital angular momentum, including spaces whose dimension is not power of a prime.Fidelities of reconstruction within the range of 0.81-0.96are obtained for both pure and mixed states.These results are relevant to high-dimensional quantum information and computation experiments, especially to those where a complete set of mutually unbiased bases is unknown.

Quantum Tomography with Phase Space Measurements

Jussi Schultz

This thesis addresses the use of covariant phase space observables in quantum tomography. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the informational completeness of covariant phase space observables are proved, and some state reconstruction formulae are derived. Different measurement schemes for measuring phase space observables are considered. Special emphasis is given to the quantum optical eight-port homodyne detection scheme and, in particular, on the effect of non-unit detector efficiencies on the measured observable. It is shown that the informational completeness of the observable does not depend on the efficiencies. As a related problem, the possibility of reconstructing the position and momentum distributions from the marginal statistics of a phase space observable is considered. It is shown that informational completeness for the phase space observable is neither necessary nor sufficient for this procedure. Two methods for determining the distributions from the marginal statistics are presented. Finally, two alternative methods for determining the state are considered. Some of their shortcomings when compared to the phase space method are discussed.
