Accuracy of Measurement for Counting and Intensity-Correlation Experiments

Phys. Rev. 140, B500 – Published 25 October 1965

Abstract

A quantum-mechanical analysis is made of the experimental accuracy to be expected for particle-counting and intensity-correlation experiments. The mean-square fluctuation for an ensemble, consisting of a large number of experiments each conducted over a time interval $T$ , is calculated.
