• Abstract: We present a quantum state tomography method that enables the reconstruction of \emph{arbitrary} $d-$dimensional quantum states encoded in the discretized transverse momentum of photons, by using \emph{only} $d+1$ experimental settings. To this end, we identify a family of bases with the property that the outcomes of a projective measurement are \emph{spatially multiplexed} on the interference pattern of the projected state. Using the proposed scheme we performed, as a proof-of-principle, an experimental reconstruction of $d=6-$dimensional states, for which a complete set of mutually unbiased bases does not exist. We obtained fidelity values above 0.97 for both pure and mixed states, reducing the number of experimental settings from $42$ to only $7$.

  We show how to reduce the geometry of degenerate states to the non-abelian connection $A$. We find independent invariants associated with each triple of subspaces. Some of them generalize the Berry-Pancharatnam phase, and some do not have analogues for 1-dimensional subspaces.

  Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories (LGTs) aims at tackling non-perturbative particle and condensed matter physics. One of the current challenges is to go beyond 1+1 dimensions, where four-body (plaquette) interactions, not contained naturally in quantum simulating devices, appear. We show how to prepare the ground state and measure Wilson loops using state-of-the-art techniques in atomic physics.

  Machine learning inspired variational methods provide a promising route towards scalable state characterization for quantum simulators. We benchmark and compare several such approaches by applying them to measured data from an experiment producing two-qubit entangled states. We find that in the presence of experimental imperfections and noise, confining the variational manifold to physical states greatly improves the quality of the reconstructed states.

  We present a method to reconstruct pure spatial qudits of arbitrary dimension $d$ based on a point diffraction interferometer. In the proposed scheme, the quantum states are codified in the discretized transverse position of a photon field, once they are sent through an aperture with $d$ slits. To characterize these photonic quantum states, the complete phase wavefront is reconstructed through a phase-shifting technique.
