This study reveals a direct link between quantum state estimation and signal representation. It introduces a quantum transfer function to define reconstruction space, avoiding Hilbert space truncation for optical signal tomography.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum information science
  • Quantum optics
  • Signal processing

Background:

  • Maximum-likelihood quantum-state estimation is crucial for characterizing quantum systems.
  • Signal representation significantly impacts the efficiency and accuracy of state reconstruction.
  • Hilbert space truncation can introduce errors in quantum state estimation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish an intrinsic relationship between maximum-likelihood quantum-state estimation and signal representation.
  • To introduce a quantum analogy of the transfer function for defining reconstruction space.
  • To demonstrate a method for quantum state tomography without ad hoc Hilbert space truncations.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a theoretical framework connecting quantum state estimation with signal representation.
