Indian Scientists have found a new way of inferring the state of a system (both 2-D qubits and higher-dimensional qubits) from an interference pattern.
It has been termed as ‘Quantum State Interferography’ (QSI).
New ways are being experimented with to manipulate quantum states so that they can be harnessed for computing, communication, and metrology.
QSI can help make manipulations simpler so that several crucial operations in quantum technologies become less cumbersome.
The setup requires only two interferometers from which many interferograms can be obtained to reconstruct the state.
