Experimental Realization of Optimal Noise Estimation for a General Pauli Channel

Quantum Physics 2011-12-22 v2

Abstract

We present the experimental realization of the optimal estimation protocol for a Pauli noisy channel. The method is based on the generation of 2-qubit Bell states and the introduction of quantum noise in a controlled way on one of the state subsystems. The efficiency of the optimal estimation, achieved by a Bell measurement, is shown to outperform quantum process tomography.
