• Abstract: The dynamics of a quantum system are characterized by three components: quantum state, quantum process, and quantum measurement. The proper measurement of these components is a crucial issue in quantum information processing. Recently, direct measurement methods have been proposed and demonstrated wherein each complex matrix element of these three components is obtained separately, without the need for quantum tomography of the entire matrix. Since these direct measurement methods have been proposed independently, no theoretical framework has been presented to unify them despite the time symmetry of quantum dynamics. In this study, we propose a theoretical framework to systematically derive direct measurement methods for these three components. Following this framework and further utilizing the basis-shift unitary transformation, we have derived the most efficient direct measurement method using qubit probes. Additionally, we have experimentally demonstrated the feasibility of the direct measurement method of quantum states using optical pulse trains.
