چکیده

Complete and precise characterization of a quantum dynamical process can be achieved via the method of quantum process tomography. Using a source of correlated photons, we have implemented several methods, each investigating a wide range of processes, e.g., unitary, decohering, and polarizing. One of these methods, ancilla-assisted process tomography (AAPT), makes use of an additional “ancilla system,” and we have theoretically determined the conditions when AAPT is possible. Surprisingly, entanglement is not required. We present data obtained using both separable and entangled input states. The use of entanglement yields superior results, however.

This paper details possible extensions and also limitations of the Aravind Hypothesis for comparing quantum measurement with classical topological measurement. We detail a separate, network model for quantum evolution and measurement, where the background space is replaced by an evolving network. In this model there is an analog of the Aravind Hypothesis that promises to directly illuminate rel...

We consider a geometrization, i.e., we identify geometrical structures, for the space of density states of a quantum system. We also provide few comments on a possible application of this geometrization for composite systems.
