Global 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 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 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 کاملLocal solutions of maximum likelihood estimation in quantum state tomography
Maximum likelihood estimation is one of the most used methods in quantum state tomography, where the aim is to find the best density matrix for the description of a physical system. Results of measurements on the system should match the expected values produced by the density matrix. In some cases however, if the matrix is parameterized to ensure positivity and unit trace, the negative log-like...
متن کاملIterative maximum-likelihood reconstruction in quantum homodyne tomography
I propose an iterative expectation maximization algorithm for reconstructing a quantum optical ensemble from a set of balanced homodyne measurements performed on an optical state. The algorithm applies directly to the acquired data, bypassing the intermediate step of calculating marginal distributions. The advantages of the new method are made manifest by comparing it with the traditional inver...
