Abstract
It is shown that the off-diagonal matrix elements of an operator on an N-boson space are determined by diagonal matrix elements in different symmetrized product bases. The motivating application is that optical field correlations are determined by moments of the numbers of photons in different modes.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
