Conversion of Gaussian states to non-Gaussian states using photon-number-resolving detectors

D Su, CR Myers, KK Sabapathy - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
Generation of high-fidelity photonic non-Gaussian states is a crucial ingredient for universal
quantum computation using continuous-variable platforms, yet it remains a challenge to do …

Two-photon and three-photon blockades in driven nonlinear systems

A Miranowicz, M Paprzycka, Y Liu, J Bajer, F Nori - Physical Review A—Atomic …, 2013 - APS
Photon blockade, in analogy to Coulomb's or phonon blockades, is a phenomenon when a
single photon in a nonlinear cavity blocks the transmission of a second photon. This effect …

Quantum state engineering by a coherent superposition of photon subtraction and addition

SY Lee, H Nha - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2010 - APS

acting on continuous variable systems and propose its application for quantum state …

Conditional generation of arbitrary single-mode quantum states of light by repeated photon subtractions

J Fiurášek, R García-Patrón, NJ Cerf - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular …, 2005 - APS
We propose a scheme for the conditional generation of arbitrary finite superpositions of Fock
states in a single mode of a traveling optical field. The setup requires a source of squeezed …

Generalized quantum scissors for noiseless linear amplification

MS Winnel, N Hosseinidehaj, TC Ralph - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
We generalize the concept of optical state truncation and noiseless linear amplification to
enable truncation of the Fock-state expansion of an optical state to higher order and to …

Quantum scissors: teleportation of single-mode optical states by means of a nonlocal single photon

SA Babichev, J Ries, AI Lvovsky - Europhysics Letters, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
We employ the quantum state of a single photon entangled with the vacuum (| GROUP⟩ A|
GROUP⟩ B−| GROUP⟩ A| GROUP⟩ B), generated by a photon incident upon a symmetric …

Hybrid photon–phonon blockade

S Abo, G Chimczak, A Kowalewska-Kudłaszyk… - Scientific Reports, 2022 - nature.com
We describe a novel type of blockade in a hybrid mode generated by linear coupling of
photonic and phononic modes. We refer to this effect as hybrid photon–phonon blockade …

Quantum-scissors device for optical state truncation: A proposal for practical realization

ŞK Özdemir, A Miranowicz, M Koashi, N Imoto - Physical Review A, 2001 - APS
We propose a realizable experimental scheme to prepare superposition of the vacuum and
one-photon states by truncating an input coherent state. The scheme is based on the …

Quantum scissors–finite-dimensional states engineering

W Leoński, A Kowalewska-Kudłaszyk - Progress in Optics, 2011 - Elsevier
This work discusses quantum states defined in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. In
particular, after the presentation of some of them and their basic properties, the work …
