Quantum nature of laser light
David T. Pegg, John Jeffers
All compositions of a mixed-state density operator are equivalent for the prediction of the probabilities of future outcomes of measurements. For retrodiction, however, this is not…

Single-shot measurement of quantum optical phase
K. L. Pregnell, D. T. Pegg
Although the canonical phase of light, which is defined as the complement of photon number, has been described theoretically by a variety of distinct approaches, there have been no…
