Quantum operation of fermionic systems and process tomography using Majorana fermion gates

preprint2021arXivOpen access

Abstract

Quantum tomography is an important tool for the characterisation of quantum operations. In this paper, we present a framework of quantum tomography in fermionic systems. Compared with qubit systems, fermions obey the superselection rule, which sets constraints on states, processes and measurements in a fermionic system. As a result, we can only partly reconstruct an operation that acts on a subset of fermion modes, and the full reconstruction always requires at least one ancillary fermion mode in addition to the subset. We also report a protocol for the full reconstruction based on gates in Majorana fermion quantum computer, including a set of circuits for realising the informationally-complete state preparation and measurement.
