In this context, it is crucial to certify that a given quantum channel can reliably transmit high-dimensional quantum information. Here we develop efficient methods for the characterization of high-dimensional quantum channels. We first present a notion of dimensionality of quantum channels and develop efficient certification methods for this quantity. We consider a simple prepare-and-measure setup and provide witnesses for both a fully and a partially trusted scenario. In turn, we apply these methods to a photonic experiment and certify dimensionalities up to 59 for a commercial graded-index multimode optical fiber. Moreover, we present extensive numerical simulations of the experiment, providing an accurate noise model for the fiber and exploring the potential of more sophisticated witnesses. Our work demonstrates the efficient characterization of high-dimensional quantum channels, a key ingredient for future quantum communication technologies.</p> Dewey 500.2 European Commission 89224 Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council EP/SO23607/1 Royal Academy of Engineering CiET-2223-112 Swiss Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation UeM019-3 Swiss National Science Foundation Quantum measurement resources: theory and applications 202179 CH Careers European Commission Photonics for High-Dimensional Quantum Networking 950402 PIQUaNT EU H2020 35 Groupe de physique appliquée 135 false 801 Groupe Brunner Physical review research 7 3 c0f7865b-7a26-41e6-925f-59a32b715846 Article (Published version) Public Article_scientifique_from_crossref.pdf 1862028 application/pdf CC BY-4.0 07359b971489058464e486272db6b482d314420baa14dcb8b4922250041f07f6 openAccess Faculté des sciences / Section de physique / Groupe de physique appliquée
