State estimation in quantum homodyne tomography with noisy data

Abstract
In the framework of noisy quantum homodyne tomography with efficiency parameter , we propose two estimators of a quantum state whose density matrix elements decrease like , for fixed known and . The first procedure estimates the matrix coefficients by a projection method on the pattern functions (that we introduce here for ), the second procedure is a kernel estimator of the associated Wigner function. We compute the convergence rates of these estimators, in risk.
