Measurement-induced oscillations of a highly squeezed state between super- and sub-Poissonian photon statistics
Tetsuo Ogawa, Masahito Ueda, Nobuyuki Imoto
A general quantum theory of continuous photodetection is applied to an initially squeezed state to clarify effects of quantum-mechanical measurement backaction on a highly nonclassical field. The remaining photon field is found to oscillate in time between super- and sub-Poissonian photon statistics due to the backaction of the photon-number measurement.
