We present a new quasi-probability distribution function for ensembles of spin-half particles or qubits that has many properties in common with Wigners original function for systems of continuous variables. We show that this function provides clear and intuitive graphical representation of a wide variety of states, including Fock states, spin-coherent states, squeezed states, superpositions and statistical mixtures. Unlike previous attempts to represent ensembles of spins/qubits, this distribution is capable of simultaneously representing several angular momentum shells.

This article reviews efforts to build a new type of quantum device, which combines an ensemble of electronic spins with long coherence times, and a small-scale superconducting quantum processor. The goal is to store over long times arbitrary qubit st
ates in orthogonal collective modes of the spin-ensemble, and to retrieve them on-demand. We first present the protocol devised for such a multi-mode quantum memory. We then describe a series of experimental results using NV center spins in diamond, which demonstrate its main building blocks: the transfer of arbitrary quantum states from a qubit into the spin ensemble, and the multi-mode retrieval of classical microwave pulses down to the single-photon level with a Hahn-echo like sequence. A reset of the spin memory is implemented in-between two successive sequences using optical repumping of the spins.
The Wigner function of a finite-dimensional system can be constructed via dual pairing of a density matrix with the Stratonovich-Weyl kernel. Following Kenfack and $dot{text{Z}}$yczkowski, we consider the indicator of nonclassicality of a finite-dime
nsional quantum system which depends on the volume of the negative part of the Wigner function. This indicator is defined over the unitary non-equivalent classes of quantum states, i.e. represents an invariant, but since for a given quantum system there is no unique Wigner function it turns to be sensitive to the choice of representations for the Wigner function. Based on the explicit parameterization of the moduli space of the Wigner functions, we compute the corresponding Kenfack-$dot{text{Z}}$yczkowski indicators of a 3-level system for degenerate, unitary non-equivalent Stratonovich-Weyl kernels.
We propose a measure of entanglement that can be computed for any pure state of an $M$-qubit system. The entanglement measure has the form of a distance that we derive from an adapted application of the Fubini-Study metric. This measure is invariant
under local unitary transformations and defined as trace of a suitable metric that we derive, the entanglement metric $tilde{g}$. Furthermore, the analysis of the eigenvalues of $tilde{g}$ gives information about the robustness of entanglement.
Quantum state reconstruction based on weak continuous measurement has the advantage of being fast, accurate, and almost non-perturbative. In this work we present a pedagogical review of the protocol proposed by Silberfarb et al., PRL 95 030402 (2005)
, whereby an ensemble of identically prepared systems is collectively probed and controlled in a time-dependent manner so as to create an informationally complete continuous measurement record. The measurement history is then inverted to determine the state at the initial time through a maximum-likelihood estimate. The general formalism is applied to the case of reconstruction of the quantum state encoded in the magnetic sublevels of a large-spin alkali atom, 133Cs. We detail two different protocols for control. Using magnetic interactions and a quadratic ac-Stark shift, we can reconstruct a chosen hyperfine manifold F, e.g., the 7-dimensional F=3 manifold in the electronic-ground state of Cs. We review the procedure as implemented in experiments (Smith et al., PRL 97 180403 (2006)). We extend the protocol to the more ambitious case of reconstruction of states in the full 16-dimensional electronic-ground subspace (F=3 oplus F=4), controlled by microwaves and radio-frequency magnetic fields. We give detailed derivations of all physical interactions, approximations, numerical methods, and fitting procedures, tailored to the realistic experimental setting. For the case of light-shift and magnetic control, reconstruction fidelities of sim 0.95 have been achieved, limited primarily by inhomogeneities in the light shift. For the case of microwave/RF-control we simulate fidelity >0.97, limited primarily by signal-to-noise.
We study the Weyl-Wigner transform in the case of discrete variables defined in a Hilbert space of finite prime-number dimensionality $N$. We define a family of Weyl-Wigner transforms as function of a phase parameter. We show that it is only for a sp
ecific value of the parameter that all the properties we have examined have a parallel with the case of continuous variables defined in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. A geometrical interpretation is briefly discussed.
