Optimal time-resolved photon number distribution reconstruction of a cavity field by maximum likelihood
We present a method for reconstructing the average evolution of the photon number distribution of a field decaying in a high- Q cavity. It applies an iterative maximum likelihood state reconstruction algorithm to the diagonal elements of the field density operator. It is based on quantum non-demolit...
