Quantum tomography via nonorthogonal basis and weak values

Abstract

Using a relation between a biorthogonal set of equiseparable bases and the weak values of the density matrix we derive an explicit formula for its tomographic reconstruction completely analogous to the standard mutually unbiased bases expansion.

Unbiased nonorthogonal bases for tomographic reconstruction

Isabel Sainz, Luis Roa, A. B. Klimov

We have developed a general method for constructing a set of nonorthogonal bases with equal separations between all different basis states in prime dimensions. The results are that the corresponding biorthogonal counterparts are pairwise unbiased with the components of the original bases. Using these bases, we derive an explicit expression for the optimal tomography in nonorthogonal bases. A special two-dimensional case is analyzed separately.

MUB-like structures and tomographic reconstruction for N -ququart systems

Juan Jesús Jesús Díaz Guevara, Isabel Sainz, A. B. Klimov

Abstract We construct an informationally complete set of mutually unbiased—like bases for any number of ququarts. These bases are used in an explicit tomographic protocol which performance is analysed by estimating quadratic errors and compared to other reconstruction schemes.

Qudit quantum-state tomography

Rob Thew, Kae Nemoto, Andrew G. White +1 more

Recently quantum tomography has been proposed as a fundamental tool for prototyping a few qubit quantum device. It allows the complete reconstruction of the state produced from a given input into the device. From this reconstructed density matrix, relevant quantum information quantities such as the degree of entanglement and entropy can be calculated. Generally, orthogonal measurements have been discussed for this tomographic reconstruction. In this paper, we extend the tomographic reconstruction technique to two new regimes. First, we show how nonorthogonal measurements allow the reconstruction of the state of the system provided the measurements span the Hilbert space. We then detail how quantum-state tomography can be performed for multiqudits with a specific example illustrating how to achieve this in one- and two-qutrit systems.

Bipartite quantum measurements with optimal single-sided distinguishability

Jakub Czartowski, Karol Życzkowski

We analyse orthogonal bases in a composite N×N Hilbert space describing a bipartite quantum system and look for a basis with optimal single-sided mutual state distinguishability. This condition implies that in each subsystem the N2 reduced states form a regular simplex of a maximal edge length, defined with respect to the trace distance. In the case N=2 of a two-qubit system our solution coincides with the elegant joint measurement introduced by Gisin. We derive explicit expressions of an analogous constellation for N=3 and provide a general construction of N2 states forming such an optimal basis in HN⊗HN . Our construction is valid for all dimensions for which a symmetric informationally complete (SIC) generalized measurement is known. Furthermore, we show that the one-party measurement that distinguishes the states of an optimal basis of the composite system leads to a local quantum state tomography with a linear reconstruction formula. Finally, we test the introduced tomographical scheme on a complete set of three mutually unbiased bases for a single qubit using two different IBM machines.
