Entanglement characterization by single-photon counting with random noise

Published Dec 28, 2021• 5 citations

Abstract

In this article, we investigate the problem of entanglement characterization by polarization measurements combined with maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). A realistic scenario is considered with measurement results distorted by random experimental errors. In particular, by imposing unitary rotations acting on the measurement operators, we can test the performance of the tomographic technique versus the amount of noise. Then, dark counts are introduced to explore the efficiency of the framework in a multi-dimensional noise scenario. The concurrence is used as a figure of merit to quantify how well entanglement is preserved through noisy measurements. Quantum fidelity is computed to quantify the accuracy of state reconstruction. The results of numerical simulations are depicted on graphs and discussed.

Quantum tomography of entangled qubits by time-resolved single-photon counting with time-continuous measurements

Artur Czerwiński

Abstract In this article, we introduce a framework for entanglement characterization by time-resolved single-photon counting with measurement operators defined in the time domain. For a quantum system with unitary dynamics, we generate time-continuous measurements by shifting from the Schrödinger picture to the Heisenberg representation. In particular, we discuss this approach in reference to photonic tomography. To make the measurement scheme realistic, we impose timing uncertainty on photon counts along with the Poisson noise. Then, the framework is tested numerically on quantum tomography of qubits. Next, we investigate the accuracy of the model for polarization-entangled photon pairs. Entanglement detection and precision of state reconstruction are quantified by figures of merit and presented on graphs versus the amount of time uncertainty.

Machine Learning of Quantum Entanglement from Noisy Measurements

Artur Czerwinski, Maciej Wiśniewski, Paweł Moszczyński

In this work, we investigate the application of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to the identification and quantitative characterization of quantum entanglement in polarization-entangled photon pairs. The analysis is based on simulated symmetric, informationally complete, positive operator-valued measure (SIC-POVM) measurement data, where each two-qubit state is represented by a 16-dimensional measurement vector corresponding to experimentally accessible coincidence counts. The generated SIC-POVM measurement data include Poissonian shot noise. Several supervised ML algorithms, including Logistic Regression, k-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines, and Random Forests, are applied to the classification of separable and entangled states directly from raw measurement data, without explicit density matrix reconstruction or the use of conventional separability criteria. The study additionally explores clustering methods and nonlinear regression techniques for estimating continuous entanglement measures. The obtained results demonstrate that ML methods can achieve very high classification accuracy, even under extremely limited training conditions. These findings indicate that ML may provide an efficient alternative to conventional quantum-state analysis under simulated Poissonian noise conditions.

Entanglement quantification enhanced by dark count correction

Artur Czerwiński

In this paper, we propose a method of dark count correction in quantum state tomography of entangled photon pairs. The framework is based on a linear model of dark counts, which is imposed on the measurement formalism. The method is tested on empirical data derived from an experiment on polarization-entangled photons. We demonstrate that the numerical approach to dark count correction guarantees more reliable state reconstruction compared with standard estimation. Most importantly, however, the conceptually simple theoretical approach proves to be more efficient at entanglement quantification than experimental techniques.

Quantifying multiparticle entanglement with randomized measurements

Sophia Ohnemus, Heinz‐Peter Breuer, Andreas Ketterer

Randomized measurements constitute a simple measurement primitive that exploits the information encoded in the outcome statistics of samples of local quantum measurements defined through randomly selected bases. In this work we exploit the potential of randomized measurements in order to probe the amount of entanglement contained in multiparticle quantum systems as quantified by the multiparticle concurrence. We further present a detailed statistical analysis of the underlying measurement resources required for a confident estimation of the introduced quantifiers using analytical tools from the theory of random matrices. The introduced framework is demonstrated by a series of numerical experiments analyzing the concurrence of typical multiparticle entangled states as well as of ensembles of output states produced by random quantum circuits. Finally, we examine the multiparticle entanglement of mixed states produced by noisy quantum circuits consisting of single- and two-qubit gates with nonvanishing depolarization errors, thus showing that our framework is directly applicable in the noisy intermediate-scale regime.

Characterization and Robustness of Three-Qubit GHZ and W States via Quantum Tomography

Yu-Fan Zhang, Lan Zhong, Wen-Hao Zhang +2 more

Abstract Reliable verification of multipartite entanglement is a prerequisite for quantum information processing. However, the interplay between statistical fluctuations and systematic errors in Quantum State Tomography (QST) often obscures genuine quantum correlations. In this work, we perform a numerical benchmarking of QST performance for three-qubit GHZ and W states under a comprehensive noise model that incorporates Poissonian counting statistics, random unitary perturbations, white noise, and source instability. Beyond standard fidelity analysis, we utilize entanglement negativity and residual entanglement to investigate how these states respond to different noise sources. Our results highlight the response characteristics of entanglement measures and fidelity to experimental imperfections. We provide a quantitative analysis of the robustness profiles for both states, noting the entanglement decay and the evolution of residual entanglement under local unitary noise. Furthermore, we establish that employing an overcomplete tomographic set provides a slight advantage in mitigating systematic errors compared to standard informationally complete schemes. These findings provide a useful reference for analyzing the potential impacts of measurement artifacts and genuine decoherence in experimental setups.
