Quantum Optics I: Wigner Function

Description

This lecture covers the concept of the Wigner function in quantum optics, which is a phase-space quasi-probability density uniquely defining the state. It directly relates to experimental quadrature histograms and state reconstruction methods using continuous-variable optical quantum-state tomography.
