Self-consistent phase determination for Wigner function reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 phase required to reconstruct the Wigner function. c © 2009 Optical Society of America

Determination of the Wigner Function from Photon Statistics *
We present an experimental realisation of the direct scheme for measuring the Wigner function of a single quantized light mode. In this method, the Wigner function is determined as the expectation value of the photon number parity operator for the phase space displaced quantum state. The Wigner function provides a complete representation of the quantum state in the form that is analogous to a c...
متن کاملDiscrete Wigner Function Reconstruction and Compressed Sensing
Wigner function(WF), a quasi-probability distribution in phase space, was first introduced to describe quantum state in quantum mechanics by E. P. Wigner[1]. And later, it was extended to classical optics and signal processing. Since its birth, a great number of applications have been conducted in different fields. As for the original quantum case, like a continuous onedimensional quantum syste...
متن کاملPhase Reconstruction from Two Wigner Distribution Projections
The connection between the instantaneous frequency and the angle derivative of the fractional power spectra is established. It permits to solve the signal retrieval problem if only two close fractional power spectra are known. This fact is used in the reconstruction of the Wigner distribution or the pseudo Wigner distribution from two close projections. Keywords—Wigner distribution, fractional ...
متن کاملSignal reconstruction from two close fractional Fourier power spectra
Based on the definition of the instantaneous frequency (signal phase derivative) as a local moment of the Wigner distribution, we derive the relationship between the instantaneous frequency and the derivative of the squared modulus of the fractional Fourier transform (fractional Fourier transform power spectrum) with respect to the angle parameter. We show that the angular derivative of the fra...
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...
