Quantum homodyne tomography with a priori constraints
An intriguing aspect of quantum mechanics is the intricate description of the state of a physical system. Therefore, a great deal of interest has been attracted by the recent experimental demonstration that the quantum state of a simple system, namely a single light mode, can be completely characterized in a feasible scheme [1]. The measurement was based on an observation that marginals of the ...
متن کاملSampling of the Wigner function adapted to time-multiplexed detection of photon statistics
We investigate the capabilities of loss-tolerant quantum state characterisation based on photon-number resolving detectors. Our emphasis lies on constructing the Wigner function of non-Gaussian Fock states with highly non-classical negative values around the origin of the phase space. We employ the idea of sampling the Wigner function point by point via photon parity measurements instead of usi...
متن کاملDirect probing of the Wigner function by time-multiplexed detection of photon statistics
We investigate the capabilities of loss-tolerant quantum state characterization using a photon-number resolving, time-multiplexed detector (TMD). We employ the idea of probing the Wigner function point–by–point in phase space via photon parity measurements and displacement operations, replacing the conventional homodyne tomography. Our emphasis lies on reconstructing the Wigner function of non-...

متن کاملEvading Vacuum Noise: Wigner Projections or Husimi Samples?
The accuracy in determining the quantum state of a system depends on the type of measurement performed. Homodyne and heterodyne detection are the two main schemes in continuous-variable quantum information. The former leads to a direct reconstruction of the Wigner function of the state, whereas the latter samples its Husimi Q function. We experimentally demonstrate that heterodyne detection out...
