Abstract

An optimal experiment design problem invoked by the Cramér-Rao Inequality is applied to the problem of quantum state tomography. The optimization problem is integer-combinatorial and we use an established relaxation which results in a convex programming problem whose solution can be used to guide a more efficient experiment.
