Fault-tolerant schemes can use error correction to make a quantum computation arbitrarily ac- curate, provided that errors per physical component are smaller than a certain threshold and in- dependent of the computer size. However in…

The principle behind quantum tomography is that a large set of observations -- many samples from a "quorum" of distinct observables -- can all be explained satisfactorily as measurements on a single underlying quantum state or process.…
