How to scale Poissonian light?
In quantum optics, coherent light with constant frequency, phase, and amplitude shows poissonian photon number statistics:
$$P(n) = \frac{\bar{n}^{n}}{n!}e^{-\bar{n}}.$$
A well-known result for ...

How can sub- and super-Poissonian statistics be distinguished from bunching and antibunching?
This is my first post here, so I apologize if there's something wrong.
I am studying quantum optics and I found myself in trouble with the difference between bunching/antibunching and super poissonian/...

Principle of Ergodicity in Derivation of Coherence Function
I am a bit confused about the following thing:
In the derivation of the coherence function for the electric field at two times $t_1$ and $t_2$, following simplification is made:
$$\langle E^*(t_1) E(...
