Naimark extension for the single-photon canonical phase measurement

Abstract: We address the implementation of the positive operator-valued measure (POVM) describing the optimal M -outcomes discrimination of the polarization state of a single photon. Initially, the POVM elements are extended to projective operators by Naimark theorem, then the resulting projective measure is implemented by a Knill-Laflamme-Milburn scheme involving an optical network and photon counters. We find the analytical expression of the Naimark extension and the detection scheme that realise it for an arbitrary n… Show more

“…with M = 4, 8. In the Bloch sphere representation, these quantum states are equally spaced along the equator defined by the Tr[ρσ z ] = 0 plane, and because of this symmetry they are often used to test discrimination protocols [41,75]. We consider the models 2r−Mr−M, 2r−M−M and 2−M−M, whose performance are reported in Fig.…”

“…While in the latter the optimal measurement operators are projectors, here the optimal ones are given by POVM. We can realize these POVM via projectors in an extended Hilbert space using the Naimark theorem [41,[75][76][77], meaning that the optimal network will try to implement such extended projectors via its dynamics and the measurement on the sink nodes. We find that 2−M−M is the most general model and has the highest performance, approaching asymptotically the optimal P * c .…”

“…( 17) also reflects this fact by showing that the relative phase operator E can be expressed from the single-mode phase operators E 1 and E 2 . Concretely, the local POVMs associated with the single-mode phases j (φ j ) can be implemented experimentally as projective measurements following the prescription given by the Naimark extension [53][54][55].…”
