Description
Summary:The methods of reconstruction of the wave function of a pure state of a quantum system by quadrature distribution measured experimentally by the homodyne detection are considered. Such distribution is called optical tomogram of a state and containes one parameter θ. Wave function of a state is determined exactly by its optical tomogram if last one is known for all θ. But one can obtain optical tomogram from experiment of homodyne detection only for discrete number of θ. We introduce some approximate methods of reconstructing the state by such information about its optical tomogram.
