Number phase uncertainty relations: verification by homodyning
arXiv:quant-ph/9704037 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.57.2129
Abstract
It is shown that fundamental uncertainty relations between photon number and canonical phase of a single-mode optical field can be verified by means of balanced homodyne measurement. All the relevant quantities can be sampled directly from the measured phase-dependent quadrature distribution.
