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:
“Neither I nor anyone else knows what a standard is. We all recognize a dishonorable act, but have no idea what honor is.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“To exist as an advertisement of her husband’s income, or her father’s generosity, has become a second nature to many a woman who must have undergone, one would say, some long and subtle process of degradation before she sunk [sic] so low, or grovelled so serenely.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
