Abstract
A device, referred to as a covmuter, transforms two initial electromagnetic modes into two final ones. The probabilistic fluctuations of the amplitudes of the initial pair of modes are characterized by an initial covariance matrix. Similarly, the final pair of modes is attributed a final covariance matrix. We show how a covmuter can be used to produce a final pair of modes possessing any desired covariance matrix. We also show how a covmuter can be used to measure the covariance matrix of any initial pair of modes. Simplified covmuter devices that result from omitting some of the components of the covmuter and some uses of such simplified covmuters are also presented. The invention applies both in the quantum mechanical and classical regimes.
