Abstract: Determining how many copies are necessary and sufficient to identify an unknown n-qubit mixed quantum state is a fundamental problem in quantum information. In the first part of this talk, I present a tomography scheme based on the most general measurements derived from Schur-Weyl duality, achieving a sample complexity of 4^n. In the second part, I turn to Pauli measurements—widely regarded as the most experimentally accessible—and show that the required number of samples increases to 10^n. I will also discuss the applications of these tomography protocols.
