Interference of Fock states in a single measurement
Abstract
We study analytically the structure of an arbitrary order correlation function for a pair of Fock states and prove without any approximations that in a single measurement of particle positions interference effects must occur as experimentally observed with Bose-Einstein condensates. We also show that the noise level present in the statistics is slightly lower than for a respective measurement of phase states.
