Topic:
Measuring Quantum Correlations with Imperfect Photoncounters
Description:
Abstract:
The recent emergence of photon-number-resolving detectors
(PNRDs) makes the characterization of multiphoton states via
photoncounting possible. Here I will discuss several popular types of
PNRDs and show how we can model realistic PNRDs using positive-operator
valued measures. I apply this model to the measurement of quantum
correlations and the calibration of these PNRDs
