Holistic Quantum State and Process Tomography

Abstract

Incompletely characterized processes can be used for state tomography. We formalize this idea and show how to chose processes that ensure invertibility for the unknown state, as well as the unknown process parameters.

We report on scheme for performing quantum state tomography using only an unknown, repeatable, unitary operation and one measurement basis. We recover the quantum state as well as the quantum process implemented by the unitary.

Quantum process tomography requires a set of input states sensitive to the unknown process. We experimentally generate a class of 4-photon states and compare their sensitivity to that of coherent states to a decohering process.

Self-calibrating tomography for non-unitary processes

Nicolás Quesada, Agata M. Brańczyk, Daniel F. V. James

We extend the idea of using a incompletely characterized process to do quantum state tomography by including the possibility that the process itself is not unitary. We study a to level atom whose dipole moment is unknown and that undergoes spontaneous emission and is irradiated by a laser whose phase and intensity can be controlled at will. We show that by using five different parameter settings of the electric field of the laser it is possible two reconstruct the state, and obtain the unknown spontaneous emission rate and dipole moment of the atom.
