Quantum process tomography of single photon quantum channels with controllable decoherence

Quantum Physics 2012-03-16 v2

Abstract

We characterized unital quantum channels of single photon polarization qubits. The channels are composed of two birefringent crystals and wave-plates, where their decoherence properties are controlled. An experimental comparison between two different depolarizing configurations was performed using a quantum process tomography procedure. The results are with a high fidelity to the theoretical predictions.
