Here, e ponder the effect of phase backaction on the correlator ⟨I(t)I(t+τ)⟩ for the output signal I(t) from continuous measurement of a qubit. We demonstrate that the interplay between informational and phase backactions in the presence of Rabi oscillations can lead to the correlator becoming larger than 1, even though |⟨I⟩|≤1. The correlators can be calculated using the generalized "collapse recipe," which we validate using the quantum Bayesian formalism. Moreover, he recipe can be generalized to the case of multitime correlators and arbitrary number of detectors, measuring non-commuting qubit observables. The theory agrees well with experimental results for continuous measurement of a transmon qubit. The experimental correlator exceeds the bound of 1 for a sufficiently large angle between the amplified and informational quadratures, causing the phase backaction. The demonstrated effect can be used to calibrate the quadrature misalignment.
