Universal Algorithm for Optimal Estimation of Quantum States from Finite Ensembles

We present a universal algorithm for the optimal quantum state estimation of an arbitrary finite dimensional system. The algorithm specifies a physically realizable positive operator valued measurement (POVM) on a finite number of identically prepared systems. We illustrate the general formalism by...
