Direct measurement of large-scale quantum states via expectation values of non-Hermitian matrices

Quantum state tomography is the process of retrieving the values that define a quantum system, but realizing it experimentally can be burdensome. Here, the authors provide an alternative approach via the expectation values of a set of non-Hermitian matrices, and characterize a 100,000-dimensional st...

Description
Summary:Quantum state tomography is the process of retrieving the values that define a quantum system, but realizing it experimentally can be burdensome. Here, the authors provide an alternative approach via the expectation values of a set of non-Hermitian matrices, and characterize a 100,000-dimensional state.
