Pure-state tomography with the expectation value of Pauli operators

Abstract: We examine the problem of finding the minimum number of Pauli measurements needed to uniquely determine an arbitrary n-qubit pure state among all quantum states. We show that only 11 Pauli measurements are needed to determine an arbitrary two-qubit pure state compared to the full quantum state tomography with 16 measurements, and only 31 Pauli measurements are needed to determine an arbitrary three-qubit pure state compared to the full quantum state tomography with 64 measurements. We demonstrate that our prot… Show more

“…We have verified, via state tomography, the output state in the control register for the algorithm, achieving a fidelity of around 0.70. For the verification of entanglement generated during the algorithm’s operation, the resource demands of state tomography were circumvented by measuring a much reduced number of Pauli measurements to uniquely identify a quantum state 28 . However, this method is quite specialized and cannot be easily generalized to larger systems.…”

“…To measure this, we can decompose into 293 Pauli expectations as where are the usual Pauli matrices plus the identity. However, the number of measurements needed to obtain all 293 expectation values can be reduced 28 . This is because the measured probabilities from a measurement of a single Pauli expectation value, i.e.…”
