Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the minimal number of observables, where expectation values at some time instant determine the trajectory of a d-level quantum system ("qudit") governed by the Gaussian semigroup. We assume that the macroscopic information about the system in question is given by the mean values of n selfadjoint operators Q1,...,QnQ_1,...,Q_n at some time instants t1<t2<...<trt_1<t_2<...<t_r, where n<d21n<d^2-1 and rdegμ(λ,\bBBL)r\leq {\rm deg} \mu(\lambda,\bBBL). Here μ(λ,\bBBL)\mu(\lambda,\bBBL) stands for the minimal polynomial of the generator of the Gaussian flow.
