Recently Parigi et al. (Science, 317 (2007) 1890) measured the statistics of a photon-subtracted and a photon-added thermal field. They showed that the measurements agree with the theoretical predictions of the beam splitter (BS) model. We show the equivalence of the quantum trajectory approach and...
