RT Journal Article T1 Universal compressive characterization of quantum dynamics A1 Kim, Yosep A1 Yong-Siah, Teo A1 Daekun, Ahn A1 Im, Dong Gil A1 Cho, Young Wook A1 Leuchs, Gerd A1 Sánchez Soto, Luis Lorenzo A1 Hynseok, Jeong A1 Kim, Yoon-Ho AB Recent quantum technologies utilize complex multidimensional processes that govern the dynamics of quantum systems. We develop an adaptive diagonal-element-probing compression technique that feasibly characterizes any unknown quantum processes using much fewer measurements compared to conventional methods. This technique utilizes compressive projective measurements that are generalizable to an arbitrary number of subsystems. Both numerical analysis and experimental results with unitary gates demonstrate low measurement costs, of order O(d(2)) for d-dimensional systems, and robustness against statistical noise. Our work potentially paves the way for a reliable and highly compressive characterization of general quantum devices.
