Biased tomography schemes: an objective approach
arXiv:quant-ph/0606042 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.230401
Abstract
We report on an intrinsic relationship between the maximum-likelihood quantum-state estimation and the representation of the signal. A quantum analogy of the transfer function determines the space where the reconstruction should be done without the need for any ad hoc truncations of the Hilbert space. An illustration of this method is provided by a simple yet practically important tomography of an optical signal registered by realistic binary detectors.
