Description

  1. What are the quadratures of the field E1 and E2 and how are they related to the positive- and negative-frequency parts of the field E(+) and E(-)?
  2. What is poissonian, super-poissonian, and sub-poissonian light? Why is this distinction important?
  3. What is the relation between photon statistics and squeezing?
  4. How does a displacement operator influence the variances of the field quadratures?
