title: Ultrashort pulses characterization by quantum state tomography.
abstract: We apply the method of quantum state tomography for the reconstruction of classical laser pulses. The scheme is based on linear inversion, has no need for iterative inversion algorithm or deconvolution, and accounts for partial coherence. The reconstruction protocol is successfully tested on amplitude and phase shaped femtosecond pulses.
