Self-consistent phase determination for Wigner function reconstruction
We present the reconstruction of the Wigner function of a classical phasesensitive state, a pulsed coherent state, by measurements of the distributions of detected-photons of the state displaced by a coherent probe field. By using a hybrid photodetector operated above its photon-resolving regime, we obtained both the statistics at different values of the probe field and the values of the probe ...
متن کاملWigner function for discrete phase space: exorcising ghost images
We construct, using simple geometrical arguments, a Wigner function defined on a discrete phase space of arbitrary integer Hilbert-space dimension that is free of redundancies. “Ghost images” plaguing other Wigner functions for discrete phase spaces are thus revealed as artifacts. It allows to devise a corresponding phase-space propagator in an unambiguous manner. We apply our definitions to ei...
متن کاملUniqueness and Nonuniqueness of the GNSS Carrier-Phase Compass Readings
In this contribution we analyse the possible nonuniqueness in the least-squares solution of the GNSS carrier-phase compass model. It is shown that this lack of uniqueness may manifest itself in the fixed baseline estimator and therefore in the GNSS compass readings. We present the conditions under which nonuniqueness occurs and give explicit expressions for these nonunique least-squares solutions.
متن کاملNonuniqueness of Phase Transitions near the Maxwell Line
We consider the description of propagating phase boundaries in a van der Waals uid by means of viscocapillary prooles, which are viewed as heteroclinic orbits connecting nonhyperbolic xed points of a ve dimensional dynamical system. A bifurcation analysis enables us to show that, for small viscosities, some distinct propagating phase boundaries share the same metastable state on one side of the...
متن کاملBounds on Integrals of the Wigner Function
The integral of the Wigner function over a subregion of the phasespace of a quantum system may be less than zero or greater than one. It is shown that for systems with one degree of freedom, the problem of determining the best possible upper and lower bounds on such an integral, over all possible states, reduces to the problem of finding the greatest and least eigenvalues of an hermitian operat...
