MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD COVARIANCE ESTIMATION WITH A CONDITION NUMBER CONSTRAINT By
High dimensional covariance estimation is known to be a difficult problem, has many applications and is of current interest to the larger statistical community. We consider the problem of estimating the covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution in the “large p small n” setting. Several approaches to high dimensional covariance estimation have been proposed in the literature. In ma...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation of photon number distribution from homodyne statistics
An interesting application of the homodyne detection is the measurement of phase–insensitive properties of optical fields, dependent on the photon number distribution [1]. The homodyne technique goes beyond the current limitations of direct photodetection. First, ultrafast sampling time can be achieved by using the local oscillator field in the form of a short pulse. Secondly, information on th...
متن کاملConsecutive measurements of photon number and quantum phase
We introduce the conditional probability to consider consecutive measurements of photon number and quantum phase of a single mode. Let P be the conditional probability to measure the phase α with precision ∆α, given a previous measurement of k photons with precision ∆k. Two upper bounds of the probability P are derived. For arbitrary given precisions ∆k and ∆α, these bounds refer to the variati...
متن کاملCavity State Manipulation Using Photon-Number Selective Phase Gates.
The large available Hilbert space and high coherence of cavity resonators make these systems an interesting resource for storing encoded quantum bits. To perform a quantum gate on this encoded information, however, complex nonlinear operations must be applied to the many levels of the oscillator simultaneously. In this work, we introduce the selective number-dependent arbitrary phase (snap) gat...
متن کاملQuantum key distribution with realistic states: photon-number statistics in the photon-number splitting attack
Quantum key distribution can be performed with practical signal sources such as weak coherent pulses. One example of such a scheme is the Bennett–Brassard protocol that can be implemented via polarization of the signals, or equivalent signals. It turns out that the most powerful tool at the disposition of an eavesdropper is the photon-number splitting attack. We show that this attack can be ext...
