Sub-shot-noise phase quadrature measurement of intense light beams.
We present a setup for performing sub-shot-noise measurements of the phase quadrature of intense pulsed light without the use of a separate local oscillator. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer with an unbalanced arm length is used to detect the fluctuations of the phase quadrature at a single sideband frequency. With this setup, the nonseparability of a pair of quadrature-entangled beams is demonstr...
متن کاملHomodyne measurement of exponential phase moments for quantum-phase reconstruction
We directly sample the exponential moments of the canonical phase for various quantum states from the homodyne output. The method enables us to study the phase properties experimentally, without making the detour via reconstructing the density matrix or the Wigner function and calculating the phase statistics from them. In particular, combing the measurement with a measurement of the photon-num...
متن کاملEntropy of Quantum Measurement
A notion of entropy of a normal state on a finite von Neumann algebra in Segal’s sense is considered, and its superadditivity is proven together with a necessary and sufficient condition for its additivity. Bounds on the entropy of the state after measurement are obtained, and it is shown that a weakly repeatable measurement gives minimal entropy and that a minimal state entropy measurement sat...
متن کاملSingle-shot measurement of quantum optical phase.
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 methods proposed for its measurement. Indeed doubts have been expressed about whether or not it is measurable. Here we show how it is possible, at least in principle, to perform a single-shot measurement of the canon...
