Optimal Pointers for Joint Measurement of σx and σz via Homodyne Detection
We study a model of a qubit in interaction with the electromagnetic field. By means of homodyne detection, the field-quadrature At + A∗t is observed continuously in time. Due to the interaction, information about the initial state of the qubit is transferred to the field, thus influencing the homody...
