چکیده

We investigate up to the fourth order normalized factorial moments of free-propagating and pulsed single photons displaced in phase space in a phase-averaged manner. Due to their loss independence, these moments offer expedient methods for quantum optical state characterization. We examine quantum features of the prepared displaced states, retrieve information on their photon-number content and study the reliability of the state reconstruction method used.

Higher Order Moments and Recurrence Relations of Order Statistics from the Exponentiated Gamma Distribution

Order statistics arising from exponentiated gamma (EG) distribution are considered. Closed from expressions for the single and double moments of order statistics are derived. Measures of skewness and kurtosis of the probability density function of the rth order statistic for different choices of r, n and /theta are presented. Recurrence relations between single and double moments of r...

Moment Matrices for Recognition of Spatial Pattern in Noisy Images

We present a method for detection and classi cation of a spatial pattern in noise contaminated binary images which is based on performing subspace decomposition on a nonnegative de nite matrix of higher order moments of the image. We introduce a method which uses normalized power moments or ascending factorial moments as descriptors. While the set of p-th order factorial moments are in one-to-o...

Temporal second-order coherence function for displaced-squeezed thermal states

We calculate the quantum mechanical, temporal second-order coherence function for a single-mode, degenerate parametric amplifier for a system in the Gaussian state, viz. a displaced– squeezed thermal state. The calculation involves first dynamical generation at time t of the Gaussian state from an initial thermal state and subsequent measurements of two photons a time τ ≥ 0 apart. The generatio...

Recurrence Relations for Single and Product Moments of Generalized Order Statistics from pth Order Exponential Distribution and its Characterization

In this paper, we establish some recurrence relations for single and product moments of generalized order statistics from pth order exponential distribution. Further the results are deduced for the recurrence relations of record values and ordinary order statistics and using a recurrence relation for single moments we obtain characterization of pth order exponential distribution.

Strong Oscillations of Cumulants of Photon Distribution Function in Slightly Squeezed States

The cumulants and factorial moments of photon distribution for squeezed and correlated light are calculated in terms of Chebyshev, Legendre and Laguerre polynomials. The phenomenon of strong oscillations of the ratio of the cumulant to factorial moment is found. Running title: Oscillations of cumulants in squeezed states.
