Simple, Reliable, and Noise-Resilient Continuous-Variable Quantum State Tomography with Convex Optimization

Ingrid Strandberg

Precise reconstruction of unknown quantum states from measurement data, a process commonly called quantum state tomography, is a crucial component in the development of quantum information processing technologies. Many different tomography methods have been proposed over the years. Maximum-likelihood estimation is a prominent example, being the most popular method for a long period of time. Recently, more advanced neural-network methods have started to emerge. Here, we go back to basics and present a method for continuous-variable state reconstruction that is both conceptually and practically simple, based on convex optimization. Convex optimization has been used for process tomography and qubit-state tomography, but seems to have been overlooked for continuous-variable quantum-state tomography. We demonstrate high-fidelity reconstruction of an underlying state from data corrupted by thermal noise and imperfect detection, for both homodyne and heterodyne measurements. A major advantage over other methods is that convex optimization algorithms are guaranteed to converge to the optimal solution.

Reconstruction of the Real Quantum Channel via Convex Optimization

Xuan-Lun Huang, Jun Gao, Zhi‐Qiang Jiao +3 more

Quantum process tomography is often used to completely characterize an unknown quantum process. However, it may lead to an unphysical process matrix, which will cause the loss of information respect to the tomography result. Convex optimization, widely used in machine learning, is able to generate a global optimal model that best fits the raw data while keeping the process tomography in a legitimate region. Only by correctly revealing the original action of the process can we seek deeper into its properties like its phase transition and its Hamiltonian. Thus, we reconstruct the real quantum channel using convex optimization from our experimental result obtained in free-space seawater. In addition, we also put forward a criteria, state deviation, to evaluate how well the reconstructed process fits the tomography result. We believe that the crossover between quantum process tomography and convex optimization may help us move forward to machine learning of quantum channels.
