Maximum-likelihood Algorithm for Quantum Tomography
Several years after the first demonstration [1], optical homodyne tomography has become a well established tool for measuring quantum statistical properties of optical radiation. What is particularly fascinating, this technique provides practical means to visualise the measured quantum state in the form of the Wigner function. This success is a result of combining a complete quantum mechanical ...
متن کاملGlobal convergence of diluted iterations in maximum-likelihood quantum tomography
In this paper we address convergence issues of the Diluted RρR algorithm [1], used to obtain the maximum likelihood estimate to the density matrix in quantum state tomography. We give a new interpretation to the diluted RρR iterations that allows us to prove the global convergence under weaker assumptions. Thus, we propose a new algorithm which is globally convergent and suitable for practical ...
متن کاملMaximum-likelihood coherent-state quantum process tomography
Coherent-state quantum process tomography (csQPT) is a method for completely characterizing a quantum-optical ‘black box’ by probing it with coherent states and carrying out homodyne measurements on the output (Lobino et al 2008 Science 322 563). We present a technique for csQPT that is fully based on statistical inference, in particular, quantum expectation-maximization. The method relies on t...
متن کاملGradient-based stopping rules for maximum-likelihood quantum-state tomography
When performing maximum-likelihood quantum-state tomography, one must find the quantum state that maximizes the likelihood of the state given observed measurements on identically prepared systems. The optimization is usually performed with iterative algorithms. This paper provides a gradient-based upper bound on the ratio of the true maximum likelihood and the likelihood of the state of the cur...
متن کاملMaximum-likelihood absorption tomography
– Maximum-likelihood methods are applied to the problem of absorption tomography. The reconstruction is done with the help of an iterative algorithm. We show how the statistics of the illuminating beam can be incorporated into the reconstruction. The proposed reconstruction method can be considered as a useful alternative in the extreme cases where the standard ill-posed direct-inversion method...
