📉 Quantum Attenuator

Explore the quantum attenuator as a loss channel on a LED: control η (transmission coefficient) and observe how binomial statistics deplete photons from the beam, and how photon count distributions differ for coherent and focused states.

⚙ Under the hood

Model a quantum attenuator as a beamsplitter loss channel: tune the transmittance η and watch photons independently survive or fall into the vacuum port, with a live histogram comparing binomial loss noise on a Fock state against the noiseless attenuation of a coherent state.
