Detection and ``emission'' processes of quantum particles in a ``chaotic state''

Abstract: We study the statistical properties of a chaotic beam of quantum particles (bosons or fermions) by using wavepacket formalism, which allows us to deal with bosons and fermions in a very symmetrical way. Our study is based on the definition and analysis of two different stochastic point processes consisting, respectively, of the ``emission'' time instants and detection time instants (or positions in a space) of the particles of the beam. The two processes are shown to be identical in the chaotic boson case and in the chaotic fermion case, respectively. The symmetry between the well‐known results concerning the photon detection process and the new results concerning the fermion detection process is pointed out. And finally it is noted that in the chaotic case the bunching (or antibunching) effect is present already in the ``emission'' of the particles.
