Abstract

We demonstrate the single-shot confidence estimation for individual quantum measurement outcomes using the continuous measurement theory of the quantum counting process applied to the quantum state identification problem. We experimentally obtain single-shot and average confidences for quantum measurements and show that they favorably compare to that of the idealized classical measurement. Finally, we demonstrate that single-shot confidence estimations correctly represent observed experimental outcomes for a large ensemble of measurements.
