Quantum State Tomography for Generic Pure States

Quantum Physics 2018-01-16 v3

Abstract

We show that a generic NN-qudit pure quantum state is uniquely determined by only 22 of its N+12\lceil\frac{N+1}{2}\rceil-particle reduced density matrices. Therefore we give a method to uniquely determine a generic NN-qudit pure state of dimension D=dND=d^N with O(D)O(D) local measurements, which is an improvement comparing with the previous known approach using O(Dlog2D)O(D\log^2 D) or O(DlogD)O(D\log D) measurements.
