Gleb Struchalin. Adaptive Methods in Quantum Tomography (2024)

The given thesis subject is quantum tomography protocols for states and processes. The goal is to experimentally validate and develop adaptive tomography protocols to improve the reconstruction accuracy of unknown quantum states or processes compared to existing approaches. Spontaneous parametric down conversion in nonlinear crystals was used to prepare quantum states. The thesis results can be applied in the practical implementation of quantum computing devices and their debugging. This thesis demonstrated experimentally that the adaptive Bayesian tomography method has a higher accuracy in reconstructing unknown quantum states and processes compared to a random measurement strategy. Also, this adaptive method is less susceptible to hardware errors. A high-dimensional two-component system tomography algorithm was developed and experimentally validated, and a shadow tomography method was also investigated.
