We study quantum state testing where the goal is to test whether $\rho=\rho_0\in\mathbb{C}^{d\times d}$ or $\|\rho-\rho_0\|_1>\varepsilon$, given $n$ copies of $\rho$ and a known state description $\rho_0$. In practice, not all measurements…

Quantum state tomography, a process that reconstructs a quantum state from measurements on an ensemble of identically prepared copies, plays a crucial role in benchmarking quantum devices. However, brute-force approaches to quantum state…

In quantum tomography, a quantum state or process is estimated from the results of measurements on many identically prepared systems. Tomography can never identify the state or process exactly. Any point estimate is necessarily "wrong" --…
