Photon counting probabilities of the output field for a single-photon input


Abstract in English

We derived photon counting statistics of an output field for a quantum system interacting with a single-photon input. We formulate the problem of continuous in time measurements of the output field starting from collision model and discrete quantum trajectories. We present general form of photon counting probability densities and distributions of mean times of successive photon detections for single-photon field scattered on a two-level atom starting in an arbitrary state.
