Maximum likelihood estimation of photon number distribution from homodyne statistics
arXiv:physics/9712043 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.57.5013
Abstract
We present a method for reconstructing the photon number distribution from the homodyne statistics based on maximization of the likelihood function derived from the exact statistical description of a homodyne experiment. This method incorporates in a natural way the physical constraints on the reconstructed quantities, and the compensation for the nonunit detection efficiency.
