Coarse graining the phase space of qubits
arXiv:1701.08630 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.95.022340
Abstract
We develop a systematic coarse graining procedure for systems of qubits. We exploit the underlying geometrical structures of the associated discrete phase space to produce a coarse-grained version with reduced effective size. Our coarse-grained spaces inherit key properties of the original ones. In particular, our procedure naturally yields a subset of the original measurement operators, which can be used to construct a coarse discrete Wigner function. These operators also constitute a systematic choice of incomplete measurements for the tomographer wishing to probe an intractably large system.
