Abstract
We exploit geometric properties of quantum states of light in optical cavities to carry out quantum nondemolition measurements. We generalize the “mode-invisibility” method to obtain information about the Wigner function of a squeezed coherent state in a nondestructive way. We also simplify the application of this nondemolition technique to measure single-photon and few-photon states.
