On the quantum phase problem

Quantum Physics 2013-03-13 v1

Abstract

We present a phase formalism that passes the Barnett-Pegg acid test, i.e. phase fluctuations for a number state are the expected value π2/3\pi^2/3 which are the fluctuations for a classical random phase distribution. The formalism is shown to have consistency subjected to different approaches.
