Tomographic Universality of the Discrete Wigner Function

open access: yesQuantum Reports
We observe that the discrete Wigner functions (DWFs) of n-partite systems with odd local dimensions are tomographically universal, as reflected in the delta function form of the DWF for any stabilizer. However, in the n-qubit case, this property does not
