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:
“I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.”
—David R. Gergen (b. 1942)
“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)
“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
