Only coherent shots contribute to the phase-visible count. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.
highlighted = computed this step
Coherent shots feed the fringe budget
Out of 60 retained shots, 45 remain coherent.
Ncoherent=45
The visible signal is reduced before readout
The ideal visible count 40 is scaled to 30 visible counts.
