Questions tagged [quantum-process-tomography]
For all questions regarding quantum process tomography or derivatives thereof (like gate-set tomography). In quantum process tomography, processes that are performed on qubits are characterized rather than the state of the qubits themselves; see quantum state tomography for this.

How comes the constraint $\sum_{n, m \neq 1} \chi_{n m} \Upsilon_m^{\dagger} \Upsilon_n=0$?
In the compressive QPT method, the trace-preserving constraint of the process matrix is $\sum_{n, m} \chi_{n m} \Upsilon_m^{\dagger} \Upsilon_n=1$. In this paper:https://arxiv.org/abs/1404.2877, as $\...
