  2. Optical phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_phase_space

    Operators given by ^ = (^ † + ^) and ^ = (^ † ^) are called the quadratures and they represent the real and imaginary parts of the complex amplitude represented by ^. [1] The commutation relation between the two quadratures can easily be calculated:

  3. In-phase and quadrature components - Wikipedia

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

    The two amplitude-modulated sinusoids are known as the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, which describes their relationships with the amplitude- and phase-modulated carrier. [ A ] [ 2 ] Or in other words, it is possible to create an arbitrarily phase-shifted sine wave, by mixing together two sine waves that are 90° out of phase in ...

  4. 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

    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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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).

  8. Numerical integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_integration

    Adaptive quadrature is a numerical integration method in which the integral of a function is approximated using static quadrature rules on adaptively refined subintervals of the region of integration. Generally, adaptive algorithms are just as efficient and effective as traditional algorithms for "well behaved" integrands, but are also ...

  9. Squeezed states of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeezed_states_of_light

    The measured electric field strengths at the wave's phase are the eigenvalues of the normalized quadrature operator , defined as [5] ^ = [^ + ^ †] = ⁡ ^ + ⁡ ^ where ^ and ^ † are the annihilation and creation operators, respectively, of the oscillator representing the photon.
