Abstract

A model that approximately takes into account instrumental errors in problems of precision reconstruction of quantum states is considered. The model is based on the notion of coherence volume, which characterizes the quality of the experimental and technological realization of the measurement protocol of a quantum state. Various sources of instrumental errors that affect the reconstruction accuracy of quantum states are mathematically modeled. It is shown that, for precision tomography of quantum states, one should take into account random coincidences that occur because the operating time of the photon detection system is finite. Among other possible sources of instrumental errors of the measurement protocol, one should take into account errors of the rotation angles and optical thicknesses of polarization plates, a possible drift in the parameters of the pump laser, and so on.
