Quantum optics

a measure of how far a light source's photon-number variance departs from Poisson statistics, negative for sub-Poissonian light.

In quantum optics, Mandel Q parameter refers to a measure of how far a light source's photon-number variance departs from Poisson statistics, negative for sub-Poissonian light. This meaning comes from Mandel (1979) in Optics Letters.[1]
