Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: September 30, 2025 | Last Modified: 2018-02-17 00:00:00
This software package performs joint quantum state and measurement tomography. The software is provided as Python source code. A description of the algorithms used is in "Joint Quantum State and Measurement Tomography with Incomplete Measurements" https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.08245Included are three example scripts that simulate data for one or two trapped ion systems with either symmetric or asymmetric measurements:- analysis_scripts/paper_simulations.py: produces all data and histograms shown in related publication with seed = 0. Also provides an example of symmetric measurements.- analysis_scripts/asym_simulations.py: produces simulated data from asymmetric measurements by similar methods as in previous script.- analysis_scripts/load_tutorial/load_simulations.py: gives an example of loading data with asymmetric measurements.
