Abstract
Quantum state tomography (QST) is an important tool for estimating an unknown quantum state, which includes a measurement process and a reconstruction process. The state estimation error involves the measurement-induced (probability estimation) error in the measurement process and the calculation error in the reconstruction process. Via the mean-square error methods, we propose two fusion measurement schemes with multiple measurement devices (MMDs) to improve the efficiency and accuracy of quantum state measurement and QST by using information fusion theory. These two schemes are founded on the parallel synchronous measurements of MMDs and, therefore, can improve the efficiency of quantum state measurement and tomography. At the same time, by fusing measurement data from different measurement devices in optimal and suboptimal manners, the proposed multiple-measurement-device fusion measurement schemes achieve the improvement of quantum state measurement and tomography accuracy. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the proposed method.
