The knowledge of density matrix is fundamental for several applications, ranging from quantum information to the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum optics. Nevertheless, quantum tomography based on homodyne detection is a rather complicated technique when applied to short pulses in photocounting regime. In this paper, we present an experimental work addressed to test an innovative scheme for a full reconstruction of the density matrix by using on/off detection coupled to phase measurements respect to a local oscillator.

Quantum information provided a new angle on the foundations of quantum mechanics, where the emphasis is placed on operational tasks pertaining to information-processing and computation. In this spirit, several authors have proposed that the mathematical structure of quantum theory could (and should) be rebuilt from purely information-theoretic principles. Here we review the particular route proposed by D'Ariano, Perinotti, and one of the authors (Chiribella et al. Phys. Rev. A, 84, 012311 (2011)), with the purpose of giving a synopsis of the informational principles therein, along with a translation of those principles into the mathematical language of standard quantum theory.
