Quantum jumps in backaction evasion measurements of a light field component

Backaction evasion measurements of a quadrature component of the light field vacuum necessarily induce quantum jumps in the photon number. The correlation between measurement results and quantum jump events reveals fundamental nonclassical aspects of quantization.
