Precise tomography of optical polarization qubits under conditions of chromatic aberration of quantum transformations

Abstract
In this work we present an algorithm of building an adequate model of polarizing quantum state measurement. This model takes into account chromatic aberration of the basis change transformation caused by the parasitic dispersion of the wave plates crystal and finite radiation spectral bandwidth. We show that the chromatic aberration reduces the amount of information in the measurements results. Using the information matrix approach we estimate the impact of this effect on the qubit state reconstruction fidelity for different values of sample size and spectral bandwidth. We also demonstrate that our model outperforms the standard model of projective measurements as it could suppress systematic errors of quantum tomography even when one performs the measurements using wave plates of high order.
