Marginal of Wigner Function calculation

I am reading on the Wigner function from the Gerry and Knight book. It defines it as: $$ W(q, p) \equiv \frac{1}{2 \pi \hbar} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\left\langle q+\frac{1}{2} x|\hat{\rho}| q-\frac{1} …

Units of electric field in quantum optics

Similarly, the expectation value for number operator in mode 4 is the same for a 50/50 beam splitter. This simply implies that the average number of photons in either one of the output ports is $50\% …
