The Quantum Phase Operator: A Review
As we shall see later this is a retrodictive two-component state which performs a
similar function to the predictive two—component probe of The state |q>b is
entangled by beam splitter BS2 with the retrodictive state from the measurement

Coherence and Quantum Optics VIII: Proceedings of the ...
In the retrodictive formalism, however, the detection of the photon at time tj leads
us to put the field in a one photon state immediately before h. From this we
retrodict that the field was in the single photon state immediately after time h — d/
