Optimal characterization of Gaussian channels using photon-number-resolving detectors
arXiv:2004.06649 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.102.012616
Abstract
We present optimal schemes, based on photon number measurements, for Gaussian state tomography and for Gaussian process tomography. An -mode Gaussian state is completely specified by parameters. Our scheme requires exactly distinct photon number measurements to tomograph the state and is therefore optimal. Further, we describe an optimal scheme to characterize Gaussian processes by using coherent state probes and photon number measurements. With much recent progress in photon number measurement experimental techniques, we hope that our scheme will be useful in various quantum information processing protocols including entanglement detection, quantum computation, quantum key distribution and quantum teleportation. This work builds upon the works of Parthasarathy et al. [Infin. Dimens. Anal. Quantum Probab. Relat. Top., 18(4): 1550023, 21, 2015].
