Abstract

In this seminar we will address some measurement strategies for extracting information carried by single photons transmitted through a multi-slit array, the so-called spatial qudits. The focus will be on the methods to implement projective-like measurements and positive operator valued measurements. Applications in quantum state tomography and quantum state discrimination will be discussed.
