Since the beginnings of quantum optics, photon counting has been used as an important tool to characterize quantum states of light. The counting distribution is typically calculated using the quantum Mandel formula [1]. Likewise, the counting statistics of atoms can give insight into the quantum properties of many-body states of ultracold atomic gases. A wide range of experimental setups with cold atoms require a time and space dependent treatment of the counting process. The quantum Mandel formula treats time in a perturbative way, and generally does not give the correct behavior for time dependent systems. We derive a non-perturbative formula for the counting distribution and apply it to different experimental situations of ultracold atoms.
