Abstract
The statistics of quantum optical phase observables are recovered as p atterns from both number as well as phase-space measurement statistics . A model for the measurement of generalized Q functions studied recen tly by Leonhardt and Paul [Phys. Rev. A 47, R2460 (1993); 48, 3265 (19 93)] is shown to yield measurements of arbitrary phase-space observabl es.
