Phase retrieval with PhaseLift algorithm

This paper provides a contemporary overview of phase retrieval problem with PhaseLift algorithm and summarizes theoretical results which have been derived during the past few years.Based on the lifting technique,the phase retrieval problem can be transformed into the low rank matrix recovery problem and then be solved by convex programming known as PhaseLift.Thus,stable guarantees for such problem have been gradually established for measurements sampled from sufficiently random distribution,for instance,the standard normal distribution.Further,exact recovery results have also been set up for masked Fourier measurements which are closely related to practical applications.
