Incompatible and contradictory retrodictions in the history approach to quantum mechanics

Giulio Peruzzi, Alberto Rimini

We illustrate two simple spin examples which show that in the consistent histories approach to quantum mechanics one can retrodict with certainty incompatible or contradictory prop…

The Quantum Tomographic Roulette Wheel

G. M. D'Ariano, M. G. A. Paris

Random-phase homodyne tomography of the field intensity is a concrete example of the Quantum Roulette of Helstrom. In this paper we give the explicit POM of such measurement and co…

Optical von Neumann measurement

G. M. D'Ariano, M. F. Sacchi

We present an optical scheme that realizes the standard von Neumann measurement model, providing an indirect measurement of a quadrature of the field with controllable Gaussian sta…

Trace forms for the generalized Wigner functions

G. M. D'Ariano, M. F. Sacchi

We derive simple formulas connecting the generalized Wigner functions for -ordering with the density matrix, and vice-versa. These formulas proved very useful for quantum mechan…

Added noise in homodyne measurement of field-observables

Giacomo M. D'Ariano, Matteo G. A. Paris

Homodyne tomography provides a way for measuring generic field-operators. Here we analyze the determination of the most relevant quantities: intensity, field, amplitude and phase.…

Equivalence between squeezed-state and twin-beam communication channels

Giacomo Mauro D'Ariano, Massimiliano Sacchi

We show the equivalence between two different communication schemes that employ a couple of modes of the electromagnetic field. One scheme uses unconventional heterodyne detection,…

Systematic and statistical errors in homodyne measurements of the density matrix

G. M. D'Ariano, N. Sterpi, C. Macchiavello

We study both systematic and statistical errors in radiation density matrix measurements. First we estimate the minimum number of scanning phases needed to reduce systematic errors…

Homodyning as universal detection

G. M. D'Ariano

Homodyne tomography - i. e. homodyning while scanning the local oscillator phase - is now a well assessed method for ``measuring'' the quantum state. In this paper I will show how…

Comment on "Loss-error compensation in quantum-state measurements"

G. M. D'Ariano, C. Macchiavello

In the two papers [T. Kiss, U. Herzog, and U. Leonhardt, Phys. Rev. A 52, 2433 (1995); U. Herzog, Phys. Rev. A 53, 1245 (1996)] with titles similar to the one given above, the auth…
