Quantum jumps in backaction evasion measurements of a light field component
arXiv:quant-ph/0005105
Abstract
Backaction evasion measurements of a quadrature component of the light field vacuum necessarily induce quantum jumps in the photon number. The correlation between measurement results and quantum jump events reveals fundamental nonclassical aspects of quantization.
