Schrodinger picture analysis of the beam splitter: an application of the Janszky representation
Abstract
The Janszky representation constructs quantum states of a field mode as a superposition of coherent states on a line in the complex plane. We show that this provides a natural Schr\"odinger picture description of the interference between a pair of modes at a beam splitter.
