All N bosons occupy the same normalized one-particle superposition with ∣C∣2+∣S∣2=1. Its occupation distribution in the original two modes is binomial, not two independent Poisson distributions. In particular, ⟨N1​⟩=N∣S∣2 and ⟨N0​N1​⟩=N(N−1)∣C∣2∣S∣2. These factorial moments give finite-particle corrections to interaction energies. The state is also the two-mode realization of a spin coherent state with spin N/2.
