A New Strategy of Quantum-State Estimation for Achieving the Cramer-Rao Bound
arXiv:quant-ph/0209074 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.68.022314
Abstract
We experimentally analyzed the statistical errors in quantum-state estimation and examined whether their lower bound, which is derived from the Cramer-Rao inequality, can be truly attained or not. In the experiments, polarization states of bi-photons produced via spontaneous parametric down-conversion were estimated employing tomographic measurements. Using a new estimation strategy based on Akaike's information criterion, we demonstrated that the errors actually approach the lower bound, while they fail to approach it using the conventional estimation strategy.
