Quaternion Representation and Symplectic Spin Tomography

Abstract: Quantum tomography for continuous variables is based on the symplectic transformation group acting in the phase space. A particular case of symplectic tomography is optical tomography related to the action of a special orthogonal group. In the tomographic description of spin states, the connection between special unitary and special orthogonal groups is used. We analyze the representation for spin tomography using the Cayley-Klein parameters and discuss an analog of symplectic tomography for discrete variables… Show more

“…Although the probability representation of quantum mechanics is most oriented to continuousvariable systems, the discrete case is also of interest. It concerns primarily the qubit state tomography, which is relevant for quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and the related fields [35,36]. In this subsection, we demonstrate how several basic quantum processes acting on a qubit look like from a tomographic standpoint.…”

“…On the other hand, quantum tomography is an original picture of quantum mechanics, where quantum states are described in terms of nonnegative probability distributions functions [5]- [7]. Quantum tomography is equivalent to other approaches to quantum mechanics, and tomograms are directly related to quasi-probability distribution functions [8]- [9].…”

“…It follows from the general group theoretical arguments that, making use of the unitary irreducible square integrable representation of the tomographic group under consideration, a unified tomographic prescription can be developed for both finite dimensional and continuous variable systems [328]. Tomograms for spin states have been developed as projections on an arbitrary axis [329] as well as by using a discrete variable analog of symplectic tomography [330]. Tomograms of optical systems have been well studied in the past [37,291,305,331,332].…”
