摘要:

量子态层析成像的精度极限问题不仅在实际应用中具有重要意义,而且在基础研究中也具有重要意义。然而,很少有人知道这个问题在多参数设置,即使在理论上由于不兼容的观测之间的微妙的信息权衡。在量子比特的情况下,理论上的精度极限是由Hayashi以及Gill和Massar确定的,但在实验中达到精度极限仍然是一项具有挑战性的任务。在这里,我们报告的第一个实验,实现了这种精度限制的自适应量子态层析光学偏振量子比特。在我们的实验中采用的两步自适应策略是非常容易在实践中实现。然而,它在优化大多数具有实际意义的品质因数方面却令人惊讶地强大。我们的研究可能对多参数量子估计问题,如量子精密测量有重要意义。同时,从信息论的角度对互补原理和不确定性关系的理解也有一定的促进作用。

英文摘要:

The precision limit in quantum state tomography is of great interest not only to practical applications but also to foundational studies. However, little is known about this subject in the multiparameter setting even theoretically due to the subtle information tradeoff among incompatible observables. In the case of a qubit, the theoretic precision limit was determined by Hayashi as well as Gill and Massar, but attaining the precision limit in experiments has remained a challenging task. Here we report the first experiment which achieves this precision limit in adaptive quantum state tomography on optical polarization qubits. The two-step adaptive strategy employed in our experiment is very easy to implement in practice. Yet it is surprisingly powerful in optimizing most figures of merit of practical interest. Our study may have significant implications for multiparameter quantum estimation problems, such as quantum metrology. Meanwhile, it may promote our understanding about the complementarity principle and uncertainty relations from the information theoretic perspective.
