• Abstract: Various reconstructions of finite-dimensional quantum mechanics result in a formally real Jordan algebra A and a last step remains to conclude that A is the self-adjoint part of a C*-algebra. Using a quantum logical setting, it is shown that this can be achieved by postulating that there is a locally tomographic model for a composite system consisting of two copies of the same system. Local tomography is a feature of classical probability theory and quantum mechanics; it means that state tomography for a multipartite system can be performed by simultaneous measurements in all subsystems. The quantum logical definition of local tomography is sufficient, but it is less restictive than the prevalent definition in the literature and involves some subtleties concerning the so-called spin factors.

  Open quantum systems are a rich area of research in the intersection of quantum mechanics and analysis. By considering a variety of master equations, we unify multiple views of autonomous and controlled open quantum systems. We formulate corresponding notions of quantum state identifiability for these systems. We set the groundwork for a number of constructive approaches to the identification of open quantum systems.

  An entanglement measure based on the Fubini-Study metric has been recently introduced by Cocchiarella and co-workers. We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.

• Local quantum overlapping tomography [0.0]
  Reconstructing the full quantum state of a many-body system requires the estimation of a number of parameters that grows exponentially with system size. A paradigmatic example is a scenario where one aims at determining all the reduced states only up to a given size. Overlapping tomography provides constructions to address this problem with a number of product measurements much smaller than what is obtained when performing independent tomography of each reduced state.

  The verification and estimation of large entangled systems represents one of the main challenges in the employment of such systems for reliable quantum information processing. This review article presents novel techniques focusing on a fixed number of resources (sampling complexity) and thus prove suitable for systems of arbitrary dimension. Specifically, a probabilistic framework requiring at best only a single copy for entanglement detection is reviewed, together with the concept of selective quantum state tomography.

• Tomography in the presence of stray inter-qubit coupling [0.09831489366502298]
  Tomography is an indispensable part of quantum computation as it enables diagnosis of a quantum process through state reconstruction. In realistic systems, qubits often develop some form of unavoidable stray coupling making it difficult to manipulate one qubit independent of its partners. We have developed a protocol, called coupling compensated tomography, that can correct for errors due to parasitic couplings completely in software.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.
