Detector Correlations and Null Tests of the Coherent State Hypothesis
Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek
We discuss the statistics of correlations between two resonant detectors. We show that this allows simple null tests of the coherent state hypothesis, free of vacuum (quantum) nois…

Testing the Coherent State Description of Radiation Fields
Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek
We propose simple quantitative criteria, based on counting statistics in resonant harmonic detectors, that probe the quantum mechanical character of radiation fields. They provide,…
