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)
“The receipt to make a speaker, and an applauded one too, is short and easy.—Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the House, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Rules and particular inferences alike are justified by being brought into agreement with each other. A rule is amended if it yields an inference we are unwilling to accept; an inference is rejected if it violates a rule we are unwilling to amend. The process of justification is the delicate one of making mutual adjustments between rules and accepted inferences; and in the agreement achieved lies the only justification needed for either.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
