In this paper, we discuss the minimal number η of observables Q1,…, Qη, where expectation values at some time instants t1,…,tr determine the trajectory of a d-level quantum system (“qudit”) governed by the Gaussian semigroup [Formula: see text] We assume that the macroscopic information about the system in question is given by the mean values [Formula: see text] of n selfadjoint operators Q1,…, Qn at some time instants t1< t2 < … <tr, where n < d2 − 1 and r ≤ deg μ(λ, 𝕃). Here μ(λ, 𝕃) stands for the minimal polynomial of the generator [Formula: see text] of the Gaussian flow Φ(t).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
