Abstract
Quantum tomography—characterising a quantum system by assigning it a quantum state—–is an essential building block for future technologies like quantum metrology or quantum computation. Ideal quantum tomography is accurate and robust to noise, while simultaneously being quick and efficient. The standard technique used for decades, full quantum tomography (FQT), only fulfills parts of these criteria and quickly becomes unfeasible, even for medium sized systems. As the number of possible states increases, the requirements on the amount of measurements to characterise the system and the storage of the results grow with it exponentially. The very feature that gives quantum mechanics its immense possibilities, hinders our capacity to describe it. Additionally, FQT is neither robust to noise nor to experimental errors, and generally fails in the presence of these environmental perturbations unless additional resources are used at the cost of efficiency.
