General implementation of all possible positive-operator-value
measurements of single photon polarization states
S. E. Ahnert, M. C. Payne
abstract: Positive Operator Value Measures (POVMs) are the most general class of
quantum measurements. We propose a setup in which all possible POVMs of a
single photon polarization state (corresponding to all possible sets of
two-dimensional Kraus operators) can be implemented easily using linear optics
elements. This method makes it possible to experimentally realize any
projective orthogonal, projective non-orthogonal or non-projective sets of any
number of POVM operators. Furthermore our implementation only requires vacuum
ancillas, and is deterministic rather than probabilistic. Thus it realizes
every POVM with the correct set of output states. We give the settings required
to implement two different well-known non-orthogonal projective POVMs.
