When quantum state tomography benefits from willful ignorance

We show that quantum state tomography with perfect knowledge of the measurement apparatus proves to be, in some instances, inferior to strategies discarding all information about the measurement at hand, as in the case of data pattern tomography. In those scenarios, the larger uncertainty about the...
