On how neural networks enhance quantum state tomography with limited resources

Abstract

Quantum state tomography is defined as a process of reconstructing the density matrix of a quantum state and is an important task for various emerging quantum technologies. In this work, we propose a general quantum state tomography framework that employs deep neural networks to reconstruct quantum states from a set of measurements with high efficiency. In particular, we apply it to two cases, including few measurement copies and incomplete measurement. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits a significant potential to achieve high fidelity for quantum state tomography when measurement resources are limited. Show more
