Abstract: Quantum state tomography, an important task in quantum information processing, aims at reconstructing a state from prepared measurement data. Bayesian methods are recognized to be one of the good and reliable choice in estimating quantum states~cite{blume2010optimal}. Several numerical works showed that Bayesian estimations are comparable to, and even better than other methods in the problem of 1-qubit state recovery. However, the problem of choosing prior distribution in the general case of n qubits is not straightforward. More importantly, the statistical performance of Bayesian type estimators have not been studied from a theoretical perspective yet. In this paper, we propose a novel prior for quantum states (density matrices), and we define pseudo-Bayesian estimators of the density matrix. Then, using PAC-Bayesian theorems, we derive rates of convergence for the posterior mean. The numerical performance of these estimators are tested on simulated and real datasets.
