Focus on quantum tomography
Open accessAbstract
Quantum tomography has come a long way from early reconstructions of Wigner functions from projections along quadratures to the full characterization of multipartite systems. Now, it is routinely carried out in a wide variety of systems. And yet, many fundamental questions remain unanswered. In recent years, a spate of radical new experimental, theoretical and mathematical developments have occurred. The appeal of the subject lies largely in the breadth of techniques that must be brought together in order to fully understand the problem. This 'focus on' collection provides a platform for facilitating the exchange of ideas between the different communities involved in this process.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
