Abstract
Thus far we have studied shot noise and thermal noise. In the case of thermal noise we extended the analysis by including Planck’s quantum postulate of energy occurring in quanta. This led to the Bose—Einstein distribution of photons, a distribution of thermal equilibrium. Then we studied the noise of classical linear systems, and determined the optimum noise performance of a linear two-port amplifier with specified internal noise. In this chapter, we begin the study of quantum noise as governed by the quantized equations of motion.
