TITLE Bayesian methods in quantum-state tomography
ABSTRACT Conventional tomography protocols reach their limits when sample sizes become very small, or when there is no consensus about the parametric form of the state to be inferred. Protocols must then be modified to account explicitly for a prior bias, and be supplemented by methods that allow one to infer the most plausible parametric form from the data. The necessary tools are furnished by Bayesian statistics: Bayesian interpolation, the evidence procedure, and Bayesian model selection. _______________________________________________________________
