Abstract
The dimension witness is an important concept in fundamental physics and quantum information processing which allows one to test the dimension of an unknown physical system in a device independent manner. Here, we report an experimental test of classical and quantum dimensions in a prepare and measure scenario through dimension witnesses based on quantum state discrimination. In our work, we have not only distinguished between quantum and classical systems of the same dimension (two, three, and four dimensions) but also distinguished between real and complex two-level quantum systems. We have also shown the strong link between dimension witnesses and quantum state discrimination which was introduced in N. Brunner, M. Navascu\'es, and T. V\'ertesi [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 150501 (2013)].
