Flickers, Bursts, and Dips: Detecting Rapid Variability with the g(2) Autocorrelation Function

Rapid optical transient events can be hard to detect because of the limited number of photons they produce. I discuss a method of inferring the presence of fast, chaotic variability in photometry using the normalized autocorrelation function, what is called g ^(2) in quantum optics. The variability’...
