TL;DR
This paper introduces a new parameter, Q_B, to better characterize nonclassical light using on-off detectors, overcoming limitations of traditional methods like Mandel's Q_M, and enabling clearer identification of quantum fields.
Contribution
The paper proposes Q_B, a novel parameter tailored for on-off detector statistics, improving nonclassicality detection over existing measures.
Findings
Q_B effectively identifies sub-binomial statistics in quantum fields.
Q_B overcomes limitations of Mandel's Q_M for on-off detector data.
Negative Q_B indicates nonclassical light with improved reliability.
Abstract
The click statistics from on-off detector systems is quite different from the counting statistics of the more traditional detectors. This necessitates introduction of new parameters to characterize the nonclassicality of fields from measurements using on-off detectors. To properly replace the Mandel Q_M parameter, we introduce a parameter Q_B. A negative value represents a sub-binomial statistics. This is possible only for quantum fields, even for super-Poisson light. It eliminates the problems encountered in discerning nonclassicality using Mandel's Q_M for on-off data.
