Measuring Full Counting Statistics in a Trapped-Ion Quantum Simulator
Author(s): Lata Kh Joshi, Filiberto Ares, Manoj K. Joshi, Christian F. Roos, and Pasquale Calabrese
In quantum mechanics, the probability distribution function and full counting statistics play a fundamental role in characterizing the fluctuations of quantum observables, as they encode the complete information about these fluctuations. In this Letter, we measure these two quantities in a trapped-i… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 135, 160601] Published Tue Oct 14, 2025
