Principles of quantum functional testing

Abstract

With increasing commercial availability of quantum information processing devices the need for testing them efficiently for their specified functionality will arise. Complete quantum channel characterization is out of the question for anything more than the simplest quantum channels for one or two qubits. Quantum functional testing leads to a decision problem with outcomes corresponding to rejection or acceptance of the claim of the producer that the device parameters are within certain specifications. In this context, we introduce and analyse three ingredients that can speed up this decision problem: iteration of the channel, efficient decision criteria, and non-greedy adaptive experimental design.
