    "abstract": "We study the accuracy of determining the phase space quasidistribution of a\nsingle quantized light mode by a photon counting experiment. We derive an exact\nanalytical formula for the error of the experimental outcome. This result\nprovides an estimation for the experimental parameters, such as the number of\nevents, required to determine the quasidistribution with assumed precision. Our\nanalysis also shows that it is in general not possible to compensate the\nimperfectness of the photodetector in a numerical processing of the\nexperimental data. The discussion is illustrated with Monte Carlo simulations\nof the photon counting experiment for the coherent state, the one photon Fock\nstate, and the Schroedinger cat state.",
