Characteristics of displaced single photons attained via higher order factorial moments

We investigate up to the fourth order normalized factorial moments of free-propagating and pulsed single photons displaced in phase space in a phase-averaged manner. Due to their loss independence, these moments offer expedient methods for quantum optical state characterization. We examine quantum f...
