ABSTRACT

As low light detection technologies are advancing, novel experiments like single molecule spectroscopy, quantum computation, quantum encryption are proliferating. Quantum mechanical detectors can produce only discrete “clicks” at different rates based on the propagating field energy flux through them, irrespective of whether the photons are divisible or indivisible packets
