Quantum-state estimation is an important field in quantum
information theory that deals with the characterization of states
of affairs for quantum sources. This book begins with background
formalism in estimation theory to establish the necessary
prerequisites. This basic understanding allows us to explore
popular likelihood- and entropy-related estimation schemes that are
suitable for an introductory survey on the subject. Discussions on
practical aspects of quantum-state estimation ensue, with emphasis
on the evaluation of tomographic performances for estimation
schemes, experimental realizations of quantum measurements and
detection of single-mode multi-photon sources. Finally, the
concepts of phase-space distribution functions, which compatibly
describe these multi-photon sources, are introduced to bridge the
gap between discrete and continuous quantum degrees of freedom.This
book is intended to serve as an instructive and self-contained
medium for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students to
grasp the basics of quantum-state estimation. Any reader with a
solid foundation in quantum mechanics, linear algebra and calculus
would be able to follow the book comfortably.
