    "abstract": "Although the canonical phase of light, which is defined as the complement of\nphoton number, has been described theoretically by a variety of distinct\napproaches, there have been no methods proposed for its measurement. Indeed\ndoubts have been expressed about whether or not it is measurable. Here we show\nhow it is possible, at least in principle, to perform a single-shot measurement\nof canonical phase using beam splitters, mirrors, phase shifters and\nphotodetectors.",
