Characterization of bipartite states using a single homodyne detector

Quantum Physics 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

We suggest a scheme to reconstruct the covariance matrix of a two-mode state using a single homodyne detector plus a polarizing beam splitter and a polarization rotator. It can be used to fully characterize bipartite Gaussian states and to extract relevant informations on generic states.
