Letter Compensation of detection losses in quantum state reconstruction

Th. Richter

We present a new and quite simple representation of the realistic pattern functions needed to reconstruct the density matrix in the Fock basis from quadrature distributions measured with non-ideal detectors. We show that they can be expressed as a finite weighted sum over the ideal pattern functions of scaled argument. Moreover we propose an algorithm which takes the detection loss-affected density matrix elements and produces the Wigner function (s-parametrized quasiprobability) of the signal field.

I present an iterative algorithm for reconstructing the Wigner function from homodyne statistics. The proposed method, based on maximum-likelihood estimation, is capable of compensating for detection losses in a numerically stable way.
