We present a scalable method for the tomography of large multiqubit quantum registers. It acquires information about the permutationally invariant part of the density operator, which is a good approximation to the true state in many relevant cases. Our method gives the best measurement strategy to minimize the experimental effort as well as the uncertainties of the reconstructed density matrix. We apply our method to the experimental tomography of a photonic four-qubit symmetric Dicke state.

Adaptive quantum tomography of high-dimensional bipartite systems

A novel tomographic protocol specially designed for the reconstruction of high-dimensional quantum states that shows qualitative improvement in infidelity scaling with the number of measurements and is fast enough to allow for complete state tomography of states with dimensionality up to 36.

This work demonstrates through simulation on many qubits that Self-guided quantum tomography is a more efficient and robust alternative to the usual paradigm of taking a large amount of informationally complete data and solving the inverse problem of postprocessed state estimation.

Systematic errors in current quantum state tomography tools.

Common tools for obtaining physical density matrices in experimental quantum state tomography are shown here to cause systematic errors that can be avoided using linear evaluation of the data or by linearizing measurement operators yielding reliable and computational simple error bounds.
