  2. Optical phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_phase_space

    In order to distinguish a physical quantity from the quantum mechanical operator used to describe it, a "hat" is used over the operator symbols. Thus, for example, where might represent (one component of) the electric field, the symbol ^ denotes the quantum-mechanical operator that describes . This convention is used throughout this article ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton–Cotes_formulas

    It is assumed that the value of a function f defined on [,] is known at + equally spaced points: < < <.There are two classes of Newton–Cotes quadrature: they are called "closed" when = and =, i.e. they use the function values at the interval endpoints, and "open" when > and <, i.e. they do not use the function values at the endpoints.

  4. In-phase and quadrature components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-phase_and_quadrature...

    The two amplitude-modulated components are known as the in-phase component (I, thin blue, decreasing) and the quadrature component (Q, thin red, increasing). A sinusoid with modulation can be decomposed into, or synthesized from, two amplitude-modulated sinusoids that are in quadrature phase , i.e., with a phase offset of one-quarter cycle (90 ...

  5. Quadrature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature

    Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), a modulation method of using both an (in-phase) carrier wave and a 'quadrature' carrier wave that is 90° out of phase with the main, or in-phase, carrier Quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), a phase-shift keying of using four quadrate points on the constellation diagram, equispaced around a circle

  6. Squeezed coherent state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeezed_coherent_state

    In physics, a squeezed coherent state is a quantum state that is usually described by two non-commuting observables having continuous spectra of eigenvalues.Examples are position and momentum of a particle, and the (dimension-less) electric field in the amplitude (phase 0) and in the mode (phase 90°) of a light wave (the wave's quadratures).

  7. Gauss–Kronrod quadrature formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Kronrod_quadrature...

    Routines for Gauss–Kronrod quadrature are provided by the QUADPACK library, the GNU Scientific Library, the NAG Numerical Libraries, R, [2] the C++ library Boost., [3] as well as the Julia package QuadGK.jl [4] (which can compute Gauss–Kronrod formulas to arbitrary precision).

  8. Displacement operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_operator

    In the quantum mechanics study of optical phase space, the displacement operator for one mode is the shift operator in quantum optics, ^ = ⁡ (^ † ^), where is the amount of displacement in optical phase space, is the complex conjugate of that displacement, and ^ and ^ † are the lowering and raising operators, respectively.

  9. Quadrature (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_(geometry)

    In mathematics, particularly in geometry, quadrature (also called squaring) is a historical process of drawing a square with the same area as a given plane figure or computing the numerical value of that area. A classical example is the quadrature of the circle (or squaring the circle).
