Abstract
Maximum likelihood estimation is applied to the determination of an unknown quantum measurement. The measuring apparatus performs measurements on many different quantum states and the positive operator-valued measures governing the measurement statistics are then inferred from the collected data via Maximum-likelihood principle. In contrast to the procedures based on linear inversion, our approach always provides physically sensible result. We illustrate the method on the case of Stern-Gerlach apparatus.
