Adaptive tomography of qubits: Purity versus statistical fluctuations
arXiv:1805.04808 · doi:10.1088/1751-8121/aadad3
Abstract
The success of quantum information processing applications relies on accurate and efficient characterization of quantum states, especially nearly-pure states. In this work, we investigate a procedure for adaptive qubit state tomography which achieves scaling in accuracy for large . We analyze the performance of the adaptive protocol on the characterization of pure, mixed and nearly-pure states, and clarify the interplay between the purity of the state and the statistical fluctuations of the measurement results. Our results highlight the subtle difference between the characterization of nearly-pure states and those of pure or highly mixed states.
