“Measuring” the quantum state
![Page 3: 3 Maggio 2005, IEN Galileo Ferraris Anno Mondiale della Fisica L’eredità di Einstein](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815e14550346895dcc7366/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• It contains the whole information in-principle available on the system.
• Quantum complementarity forbids to obtain all the possible information from the same measurement: if we are measuring the wave aspects of the system, we are missing out on all its particle aspects.
• Thus, to recover the state, we need to perform a set of incompatible measures on an ensemble of equally prepared systems.
The quantum state
![Page 4: 3 Maggio 2005, IEN Galileo Ferraris Anno Mondiale della Fisica L’eredità di Einstein](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815e14550346895dcc7366/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Pre-history: “measuring” the state
Wolfgang Pauli [1958]: The mathematical problem, as to whether for given functions W(q) and W(p) the wave function ψ, if such function exists is always uniquely determined, has still not been investigated in all its generality.
![Page 5: 3 Maggio 2005, IEN Galileo Ferraris Anno Mondiale della Fisica L’eredità di Einstein](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815e14550346895dcc7366/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Eugene Paul Wigner [1983]: There is no way to determine what the wave function (or state vector) of a system is— if arbitrarily given, there is no way to “measure” its wave function. Clearly, such a measurement would have to result in a function of several variables, not in a relatively small set of numbers ... In order to verify the [quantum] theory in its generality, at least a succession of two measurements are needed. There is in general no way to determine the original state of the system, but having produced a definite state by a first measurement, the probabilities of the outcomes of a second measurement are then given by the theory.
Pre-history: “measuring” the state
![Page 6: 3 Maggio 2005, IEN Galileo Ferraris Anno Mondiale della Fisica L’eredità di Einstein](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815e14550346895dcc7366/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Bernard d’Espagnat [1976]: The question of determining which operators correspond to observables and which do not is a very difficult one. At the present time, no satisfactory answer appears to be known. Neverthless, it is interesting to investigate the relationship of this question to another, similar one: “What are the systems whose density matrices are measurable?” Should we, for instance, say that if a given type of systems corresponding to a given Hilbert space has a measurable density matrix, then all the Hermitean operators defined on that space are measurable? And is the reverse proposition true? What do we mean when we say that the density matrix corresponding to a given type of system is measurable? Let an ensemble E of a sufficiently large number of this type be given. Let us first separate it into subensembles Eλ, the elements of which are chosen at random in E. If from the results of appropriate measurements on the Eλ, we can derive the value of every element of the matrix ρ that describes E in some fixed representation, we say that ρ is measurable.

• No cloning theorem <---> It is impossible to determine the state of a single quantum system.
• To “measure the state” we need an ensemble of equally prepared identical quantum systems.

• How to measure concretely the matrix elements of the quantum state?
• In order to determine the density matrix, one needs to measure a “complete” set of observables, the quorum, [Fano, d’Espagnat, Royer,...]
• The problem remained at the level of mere speculation for many years...
• It entered the realm of experiments only in 1994, after the experiments by Raymer’s group in the domain of Quantum Optics.
“Measuring” the quantum state
![Page 10: 3 Maggio 2005, IEN Galileo Ferraris Anno Mondiale della Fisica L’eredità di Einstein](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815e14550346895dcc7366/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• For particles, it is difficult to devise concretely measurable translational observables—other than position, momentum and energy.
• Quantum optics: unique opportunity of measuring all possible linear combinations of position Q and momentum P of a harmonic oscillator, here a mode of the electromagnetic field.
• Such a measurement is achieved by means of a balanced homodyne detector, which measures the quadrature of the field at any desired phase with respect to the local oscillator (LO).

• The inverse Radon transform is nonanalytical
• One needs a cutoff, which gives an uncontrollable bias in the matrix elements
Problems with the Radon transform

Exact methodIt is possible to bypass the Radon transform and obtain the density matrix elements by simply averaging suitable functions on homodyne outcomes

Exact methodMeasurement statistical errors on the density matrix
elements can make them useless for the estimation of ensemble averages
In the same way different representations of the state can be “experimentally” inequivalent

• Quantum tomography is a method to measure experimentally the quantum state, or any ensemble average.
• There is a setup for any quantum system.
• Robust to noise.
• Statistically efficient.
• Can be used for fully calibrating devices and measuring apparatuses. Robust to input state.
• Maybe useful also for ACT.
