We demonstrate the full reconstruction of typical noises affecting quantum computing, as amplitude shifts, phase shifts, and depolarizing channel in dimension $d=5$. We have also reconstructed simulated atmospheric turbulences affecting a free-space transmission of qudits in dimension $d=4$. In each case, quantum process tomography (QPT) was performed in order to obtain the matrix $\\chi$ that fully describe the corresponding quantum channel, $\\mathcal{E}$. Fidelities between the states experimentally obtained after go through the channel and the expected ones are above $97\\%$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-06-15T21:15:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum process tomography", "dimensional quantum channels", "programmable spatial light modulators", "simulated atmospheric turbulences affecting", "noises affecting quantum computing" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
