Focus on quantum tomography

K Banaszek, M Cramer, D Gross - New Journal of Physics, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Quantum tomography has come a long way from early reconstructions of Wigner functions
from projections along quadratures to the full characterization of multipartite systems. Now, it …

Independent state and measurement characterization for quantum computers

J Lin, JJ Wallman, I Hincks, R Laflamme - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
Correctly characterizing state preparation and measurement (SPAM) processes is a
