abstract

  • We formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for a symplectic tomogram of a quantum state to determine the density state. We establish a connection between the (re)construction by means of symplectic
    tomograms with the construction by means of Naimark positive definite
    functions on the Weyl&-Heisenberg group. This connection is used to
    formulate properties which guarantee that tomographic probabilities
    describe quantum states in the probability representation of quantum
    mechanics.
