Quantum Optics
The Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality is a fundamental result in linear algebra and analysis that states for any two sequences of real numbers or vectors, the absolute value of their inner product is less than or equal to the product of their magnitudes. This inequality plays a crucial role in understanding higher-order correlation functions as it provides bounds on the relationships between different variables in quantum optics, ensuring that correlations do not exceed certain limits.
