Density Matrices of Pulsed Quantum Light
Joscelyn van der Veen, Daniel F. V. James
Pulsed light is represented by density matrices whose correlation functions have different properties of stationarity and coherence. We show that these density matrices yield equiv…
Effects of time dependence in the second order coherence of pulsed light
Joscelyn van der Veen, Daniel James
For light in a single temporal mode, the time dependence is associated entirely with the deterministic pulse shape rather than the quantum state. This means the second order cohere…
Errors in quantum state identification with ultrashort pulses
Joscelyn van der Veen, Daniel F. V. James
From the nonclassicality of photon superbunching to the basic property of intensity, we characterize light with correlation and coherence functions. The correlation functions for n…
Averages in optical coherence: resolving the Magyar and Mandel-Wolf paradox
Joscelyn van der Veen, Daniel James
The ubiquity of optical coherence arising from its importance in everything from astronomy to photovoltaics means that underlying assumptions such as stationarity and ergodicity ca…
