dc.description.abstract | Quantum State Tomography (QST) has been the traditional method for characterization of an unknown state. Recently, many direct measurement methods have been implemented to reconstruct the state in a resource efficient way. In this letter, we present an interferometric method, in which, any qubit state, whether mixed or pure, can be inferred from the visibility, phase shift and average intensity of an interference pattern using a single shot measurement -- hence, we call it Quantum State Interferography. This provides us with a "black box" approach to quantum state estimation, wherein, between the incidence of the photon and extraction of state information, we are not changing any conditions within the set-up, thus giving us a true single shot estimation of the quantum state. In contrast, standard QST requires at least two measurements for pure state qubit and at least three measurements for mixed state qubit reconstruction. We then go on to show that QSI is more resource efficient than QST for quantification of entanglement in pure bipartite qubits. We experimentally implement our method with high fidelity using the polarisation degree of freedom of light. An extension of the scheme to pure states involving d−1 interferograms for d -dimensional systems is also presented. Thus, the scaling gain is even more dramatic in the qudit scenario for our method where in contrast, standard QST, without any assumptions, scales roughly as d2 . | en_US |
