Directly measuring mean and variance of infinite-spectrum observables such as the photon orbital angular momentum

The standard method for experimentally determining the probability distribution of an observable in quantum mechanics is the measurement of the observable spectrum. However, for infinite-dimensional degrees of freedom, this approach would require ideally infinite or, more realistically, a very large...
