Abstract
Full characterization of quantum states is increasingly important as ever more complex quantum systems are realized. Quantum state tomography of these systems is a difficult task because individual measurements only give partial information about the underlying density matrix of the system. Thus, conventionally the measurement apparatus must be reconfigured to take multiple measurements in order to fully determine the density matrix. It is accepted that for an 𝑁-qubit system an exponentially increasing number of measurements are needed [1]. As a consequence, the complexity of typical quantum state tomography grows exponentially with increasing photon number, which makes characterizing large quantum systems highly challenging.
