A Variational Approach to Unique Determinedness in Pure-state Tomography
arXiv:2305.10811 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.109.022425
Abstract
In pure-state tomography, the concept of unique determinedness (UD) -- the ability to uniquely determine pure states from measurement results -- is crucial. This study presents a new variational approach to examining UD, offering a robust solution to the challenges associated with the construction and certification of UD measurement schemes. We put forward an effective algorithm that minimizes a specially defined loss function, enabling the differentiation between UD and non-UD measurement schemes. This leads to the discovery of numerous optimal pure-state Pauli measurement schemes across a variety of dimensions. Additionally, we discern an alignment between uniquely determined among pure states (UDP) and uniquely determined among all states (UDA) in qubit systems when utilizing Pauli measurements, underscoring its intrinsic robustness under pure-state recovery. We further interpret the physical meaning of our loss function, bolstered by a theoretical framework. Our study not only propels the understanding of UD in quantum state tomography forward, but also delivers valuable practical insights for experimental applications, highlighting the need for a balanced approach between mathematical optimality and experimental pragmatism.
