Quantum state reconstruction with binary detectors

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

I present a simple and robust method of quantum state reconstruction using non-ideal detectors able to distinguish only between presence and absence of photons. Using the scheme, one is able to determine a value of Wigner function in any given point on the phase plane using expectation-maximization estimation technique.
