Quantum state tomography for qutrits subject to laser cooling

Abstract

In this article we propose a dynamic quantum state tomography model for qutrits subject to laser cooling. We prove that one can reduce the number of distinct measurement setups required for state reconstruction by employing the stroboscopic approach. The results are in line with current advances in quantum tomography where there is a strong tendency to investigate the optimal criteria for state reconstruction. We believe that the stroboscopic approach can be considered an efficient tool for density matrix identification since it allows to determine the minimal number of distinct observables needed for quantum state tomography.

Dynamic State Reconstruction of Quantum Systems Subject to Pure Decoherence

Artur Czerwiński

Abstract The article introduces efficient quantum state tomography schemes for qutrits and entangled qubits subject to pure decoherence. We implement the dynamic state reconstruction method for open systems sent through phase-damping channels, which was proposed in: Czerwinski and Jamiolkowski Open Syst. Inf. Dyn.23, 1650019 (2016). In the present article we prove that two distinct observables measured at four different time instants suffice to reconstruct the initial density matrix of a qutrit with evolution given by a phase-damping channel. Furthermore, we generalize the approach in order to determine criteria for quantum tomography of entangled qubits. Finally, we prove two universal theorems concerning the number of observables required for quantum state tomography of qudits subject to pure decoherence. We believe that dynamic state reconstruction schemes bring advancement and novelty to quantum tomography since they utilize the Heisenberg representation and allow to define the measurements in time domain.

Some Remarks on Quantum Tomography in Laser Cooling

Artur Czerwiński

In this article we take into consideration the evolution model of 3-level quantum systems known as laser cooling. The evolution in this model is given by an equation which is a special case of the general Kossakowski-Lindblad master equation. The explicit knowledge about the evolution makes it possible to apply the stroboscopic tomography to laser cooling. In this article we present some remarks concerning the minimal number of observables and moments of measurement for quantum tomography in laser cooling.

Selected Concepts of Quantum State Tomography

Artur Czerwiński

Quantum state tomography (QST) refers to any method that allows one to reconstruct the accurate representation of a quantum system based on data obtainable from an experiment. In this paper, we concentrate on theoretical methods of quantum tomography, but some significant experimental results are also presented. Due to a considerable body of literature and intensive ongoing research activity in the field of QST, this overview is restricted to presenting selected ideas, methods, and results. First, we discuss tomography of pure states by distinguishing two aspects—complex vector reconstruction and wavefunction measurement. Then, we move on to the Wigner function reconstruction. Finally, the core section of the article is devoted to the stroboscopic tomography, which provides the optimal criteria for state recovery by including the dynamics in the scheme. Throughout the paper, we pay particular attention to photonic tomography, since multiple protocols in quantum optics require well-defined states of light.

A tailor-made quantum state tomography approach

Daniele Binosi, Giovanni Garberoglio, Diego Maragnano +2 more

Quantum state tomography (QST) aims at reconstructing the state of a quantum system. However, in conventional QST, the number of measurements scales exponentially with the number of qubits. Here, we propose a QST protocol, in which the introduction of a threshold allows one to drastically reduce the number of measurements required for the reconstruction of the state density matrix without compromising the result accuracy. In addition, one can also use the same approach to reconstruct an approximated density matrix tailoring the number of measurements on the available resources. We experimentally demonstrate this protocol by performing the tomography of states up to 7 qubits. We show that our approach can lead to results in agreement with those obtained by QST even when the number of measurements is reduced by more than two orders of magnitude.

A new approach to measurement in quantum tomography

Artur Czerwiński

In this article we propose a new approach to quantum measurement in reference to the stroboscopic tomography. Generally, in the stroboscopic approach it is assumed that the information about the quantum system is encoded in the mean values of certain Hermitian operators $Q_1, ..., Q_r$ and each of them can be measured more than once. The main goal of the stroboscopic tomography is to determine when one can reconstruct the initial density matrix $ρ(0)$ on the basis of the measurement results $\langle Q_i \rangle_{t_j}$. In this paper we propose to treat every complex matrix as a measurable operator. This generalized approach to quantum measurement may bring some improvement into the models of stroboscopic tomography.

Dynamic Quantum Tomography Model for Phase-Damping Channels

Artur Czerwiński, Andrzej Jamiołkowski

In this paper we propose a dynamic quantum tomography model for open quantum systems with evolution given by phase-damping channels. Mathematically, these channels correspond to completely positive trace-preserving maps defined by the Hadamard product of the initial density matrix with a time-dependent matrix which carries the knowledge about the evolution. Physically, there is a strong motivation for considering this kind of evolution because such channels appear naturally in the theory of open quantum systems. The main idea behind a dynamic approach to quantum tomography claims that by performing the same kind of measurement at some time instants one can obtain new data for state reconstruction. Thus, this approach leads to a decrease in the number of distinct observables which are required for quantum tomography; however, the exact benefit for employing the dynamic approach depends strictly on how the quantum system evolves in time. Algebraic analysis of phase-damping channels allows one to determine criteria for quantum tomography of systems in question. General theorems and observations presented in the paper are accompanied by a specific example, which shows step by step how the theory works. The results introduced in this paper can potentially be applied in experiments where there is a tendency to look at quantum tomography from the point of view of economy of measurements, because each distinct kind of measurement requires, in general, preparing a separate setup.
