Null dimension witness based on single measurements

Quantum Physics 2024-02-16 v2

Abstract

We present a null witness of the dimension of a quantum system, discriminating real, complex and classical spaces, based on equality due to linear independence. The witness involves only a single measurement with sufficiently many outcomes and prepared input states. In addition, for intermediate dimensions, the witness bounds saturate for a family of equiangular tight frames including symmetric informationally complete positive operator valued measures. Such a witness requires a minimum of resources, being robust against many practical imperfections. We also discuss errors due to finite statistics.
