Standard Quantum Process Tomography
SQPT approaches this using linearly independent inputs, where is the dimension of the Hilbert space . For each of these input states, sending it through the process gives an output state which can be written as a linear combination of the, i.e. . By sending each through many times, quantum state tomography can be used to determine the coefficients experimentally.
Write
- ,
where is a matrix of coefficients. Then
- .
Since form a linearly independent basis,
- .
Inverting gives :
- .

Famous quotes containing the words standard, quantum and/or process:
“When Freedom, from her mountain height,
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there;”
—Joseph Rodman Drake (1795–1820)
“A personality is an indefinite quantum of traits which is subject to constant flux, change, and growth from the birth of the individual in the world to his death. A character, on the other hand, is a fixed and definite quantum of traits which, though it may be interpreted with slight differences from age to age and actor to actor, is nevertheless in its essentials forever fixed.”
—Hubert C. Heffner (1901–1985)
“A designer who is not also a couturier, who hasn’t learned the most refined mysteries of physically creating his models, is like a sculptor who gives his drawings to another man, an artisan, to accomplish. For him the truncated process of creating will always be an interrupted act of love, and his style will bear the shame of it, the impoverishment.”
—Yves Saint Laurent (b. 1936)
