  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 ...

    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.

  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 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.

  7. Squeezed coherent state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeezed_coherent_state

    The term squeezed state is actually used for states with a standard deviation below that of the ground state for one of the operators or for a linear combination of the two. The idea behind this is that the circle denoting the uncertainty of a coherent state in the quadrature phase space (see right) has been "squeezed" to an ellipse of the same ...

  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. Numerical integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_integration

    The term numerical quadrature (often abbreviated to quadrature) is more or less a synonym for "numerical integration", especially as applied to one-dimensional integrals. Some authors refer to numerical integration over more than one dimension as cubature ; [ 1 ] others take "quadrature" to include higher-dimensional integration.
