  In this article we propose a dynamic quantum tomography model for open
quantum systems with evolution given by phase-damping channels. Mathematically,
these channels correspond to completely positive trace-preserving maps defined
by the Hadamard product of the initial density matrix with a time-dependent
matrix which carries the knowledge about the evolution. Physically, there is a
strong motivation for considering this kind of evolution because such channels
appear naturally in the theory of open quantum systems. The main idea behind a
dynamic approach to quantum tomography claims that by performing the same kind
of measurement at some time instants one can obtain new data for state
reconstruction. Thus, this approach leads to a decrease in the number of
distinct observables which are required for quantum tomography; however, the
exact benefit for employing the dynamic approach depends strictly on how the
quantum system evolves in time. Algebraic analysis of phase-damping channels
allows one to determine optimal criteria for quantum tomography of systems in
question. General theorems and observations presented in the paper are
accompanied by a specific example, which shows step by step how the theory
works. The results introduced in this article can potentially be applied in
experiments where there is a tendency a look at quantum tomography from the
point of view of economy of measurements, because each distinct kind of
measurement requires, in general, preparing a separate setup.
