Towards the Geometry of Quantum Optical Measurements: Kraus Trajectories in the Instrumental Weyl-Heisenberg Group Manifold

Tzula B. Propp, Chris S. Jackson

Since ancient Greek times, geometry has been a method by which humans can make inferences, by the use of similar triangles, about the world far beyond their immediate senses. Simil…

Quantum Measurement and Continuous Markov Processes

Chris Jackson

These are the lecture notes for a course on diffusive quantum measuring instruments. They were prepared and delivered at the Perimeter Institute on Mondays and Thursdays, from 2:30…

Sequential Quantum Measurements and the Instrumental Group Algebra

Christopher S. Jackson

Many of the most fundamental observables | position, momentum, phase-point, and spin-direction | cannot be measured by an instrument that obeys the orthogonal projection postulate.…

Solving the problem with the Global Cartan Decomposition

Elija Perrier, Christopher S. Jackson

Geometric methods have useful application for solving problems in a range of quantum information disciplines, including the synthesis of time-optimal unitaries in quantum control.…

The photodetector, the heterodyne instrument, and the principle of instrument autonomy

Christopher S. Jackson

Measuring instruments, especially ones that observe continually over time, have a reality to them that is independent of the states that stimulate their senses. This is the Princip…

How to perform the coherent measurement of a curved phase space by continuous isotropic measurement. I. Spin and the Kraus-operator geometry of

Christopher S. Jackson, Carlton M. Caves

The generalized -function of a spin system can be considered the outcome probability distribution of a state subjected to a measurement represented by the spin-coherent-state (S…

How to implement the generalized-coherent-state POVM via nonadaptive continuous isotropic measurement

Chris S. Jackson

In a recent Letter~[PRL \textbf{121}, 130404 (2018)], it was announced that the spin-coherent-state POVM can be implemented via a nonadaptive continuous isotropic measurement. In t…

Non-holonomic tomography II: Detecting correlations in multiqudit systems

Christopher Jackson, Steven van Enk

In the context of quantum tomography, quantities called a partial determinants\cite{jackson2015detecting} were recently introduced. PDs (partial determinants) are explicit function…

Detecting correlated errors in SPAM tomography

Christopher Jackson, S. J. van Enk

Whereas in standard quantum state tomography one estimates an unknown state by performing various measurements with known devices, and whereas in detector tomography one estimates…
