contents We give an algorithm for pure state tomography with near-optimal copy and time complexity using only single-qubit measurements. Specifically, given $\widetilde{O}(2^n/ε)$ copies of an unknown $n$-qubit pure state $|ψ\rangle$, the algorithm performs only nonadaptive Pauli measurements, runs in time $\widetilde{O}(2^n/ε)$, and outputs $|\widehatψ \rangle$ with fidelity at least $1-ε$ with $|ψ\rangle$ with high probability. This is the first algorithm for pure state tomography that achieves near-optimal running time.
