Homodyne tomography with homodyne-like detection

Understand

We show that data from homodyne-like detection based on photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors may be effectively exploited to reconstruct quantum states of light using the tomographic reconstruction techniques originally developed for homodyne detection based on photodiodes.

• Our results open new perspectives to quantum state reconstruction, and pave the way to the use of PNR-based homodyne-like detectors in quantum information science.
