Abstract

In experiments with superconducting quantum circuits, characterizing the photon statistics of propagating microwave fields is a fundamental task. We quantify the n2 {+} n photon number variance of thermal microwave photons emitted from a black-body radiator for mean photon numbers 0.05 {lesssim} n {lesssim} 1.5. We probe the fields using either correlation measurements or a transmon qubit coupled to a microwave resonator. Our experiments provide a precise quantitative characterization of weak microwave states and information on the noise emitted by a Josephson parametric amplifier.
