Quantum phase distribution by projection synthesis
David Thomas Pegg, Stephen Mark Barnett, Lee S. Phillips · Journal of Modern Optics · 1997
We show how the recently-introduced method of projection synthesis can be applied to find the phase probability distribution for a single-mode field. The realization of such a measurement scheme requires the production of reciprocal-binomial states of light or suitable alternative states. We describe how such states might be produced in the laboratory.
