Experimental implementation of one-qubit logic gates and verification via quantum state tomography

Abstract

We implemented one-qubit quantum gates testing through the production of the polarization set of states, with |H〉 as input. Complementary, we reconstructed the state for each output via the quantum-tomography protocol with fidelities over 95%.

Experimental realization of a programmable quantum gate

Michal Mičuda, Miroslav Ježek, Miloslav Dušek +1 more

We experimentally demonstrate a programmable single-qubit quantum gate. This device applies a unitary phase shift operation to a data qubit with the value of the phase shift being fully determined by the state of a program qubit. Our linear optical implementation is based on the encoding of qubits into polarization states of single photons, two-photon interference on a polarizing beam splitter, and measurement on the output program qubit. We fully characterize the programmable gate by quantum process tomography. The achieved average quantum process fidelity exceeding 97% illustrates very good performance of the gate for all values of the encoded phase shift. We also show that by using a different set of program states the device can operate as a programmable partial polarization filter.

Optimal Protocol for Polarization Ququart State Tomography

Ekaterina V. Moreva, A. K. Gavrichenko, Иван Владимирович Тихонов +1 more

We develop a practical quantum tomography protocol and implement measurements of pure states of ququarts realized with polarization states of photon pairs (biphotons). The method is based on an optimal choice of the measuring scheme’s parameters that provides better quality of reconstruction for the fixed set of statistical data. A high accuracy of the state reconstruction (above 0.99) indicates that developed methodology is adequate.

Computational framework for quantum state tomography of spin ensembles

Jiwoo Seo, Vesna F. Mitrović

We present Tomography-NMR, an open-source Python package that reconstructs quantum density matrices from spectroscopic measurement data. The package implements a complete analysis pipeline for two-qubit quantum state tomography based on the product operator formalism: raw time-domain signals are Fourier-transformed into frequency-domain spectra, spectral peak intensities are mapped to expansion coefficients of the density matrix, and the full quantum state is reconstructed. Three integration methods are provided for different use cases: direct peak height measurement and fixed-parameter numerical integration require no theoretical reference and are suited to unknown states, achieving fidelities of approximately 98\% on a benchmark set of known states, while a systematic parameter optimization against a known target state achieves reconstruction fidelities exceeding 99\% for the same benchmark states. While the detailed theoretical framework for quantum state tomography is well established, the practical procedures for extracting density matrices from experimental spectra are often inadequately documented in the literature and obscured within proprietary software. This package addresses that gap by providing a fully transparent, reproducible implementation of every analysis step, from spectral preprocessing to density matrix visualization. The software has been validated on experimentally prepared two-qubit states measured via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of coupled $^{31}$P nuclei. Average reconstruction fidelities range from 0.975 to 0.995 across a benchmark set of 20 two-qubit states, including the computational basis states, Bell states, and the outputs of three fundamental quantum gates (CNOT, H, and T). Although developed for NMR, the modular architecture facilitates adaptation to other spectroscopic platforms and alternative measurement protocols.

Statistical reconstruction of mixed states of polarization qubits

Yu. I. Bogdanov, A. K. Gavrichenko, Konstantin Kravtsov +3 more

The method of estimating the adequacy, completeness, and accuracy of quantum tomography protocols is generalized to the case of mixed states of polarization qubits. The efficiency of the method is illustrated based on mathematical modeling and experimental investigation of some practically important quantum tomography protocols.
