Abstract
The analysis of multiparticle quantum states is a central problem in quantum information processing. This task poses several challenges for experimenters and theoreticians. We give an overview over current problems and possible solutions concerning systematic errors of quantum devices, the reconstruction of quantum states, and the analysis of correlations and complexity in multiparticle density matrices.

Notes
- 1.
This means that both, measurements and states are described by the corresponding N-fold tensor products. While such a property can be inferred for the states with the help of the de Finetti theorem [1], one should be aware that its exchangeability requirements do not apply to experiments where one actively measures first all the \(s=1\) measurements, followed by all \(s=2\) measurements and so on.
- 2.
Since one typically likes to leave the choice of appropriate levels of \(\alpha \) to the reader one can also report the p-value [7] of the observed data: It is the smallest \(\alpha \) with which we would have still said “incompatible” with the test.
- 3.
The new operators \(X_{r|s}\) may be necessary, since the \(M_{r|s}\) can be overcomplete or not orthogonal.
