Scheme to Measure Quantum Stokes Parameters and their Fluctuations and Correlations

Abstract

We propose a scheme to measure quantum Stokes parameters, their fluctuations and correlations. The proposal involves measurements of intensities and intensity- intensity correlations for suitably defined modes, which can be produced by a combination of half wave and quarter wave plates.
