We introduce a simple protocol for adaptive quantum state tomography, which reduces the worst-case infidelity between the estimate and the true state from $O(N^{-1/2})$ to $O(N^{-1})$. It uses a single adaptation step and just one extra…

We demonstrate the quantum fidelity approach for exploring and mapping out quantum phases. As a simple model exhibiting a number of distinct quantum phases, we consider the alternating-bond Ising chain using the infinite time evolving block…
