Mode-dependent-loss model for multimode photon-subtracted states

A multimode model for projective photon-counting measurements

Photon subtracted states and enhancement of nonlocality in the presence of noise

We address nonlocality of continuous variable systems in the presence of dissipation and noise. Three nonlocality tests have been considered, based on the measurement of displaced-parity, field-quadrature and pseudospin-operator, respectively. Nonlocality of twin-beam has been investigated, as well as that of its nonGaussian counterparts obtained by inconclusive subtraction of photons. Our resu...

Tsallis Entropies of Superposition States of Two Photon-Subtracted SU(1, 1) Coherent States and Entanglement Transfer to Qubits

Entropy properties of the superposed photon-subtracted two-mode coherent states are quite different from that of the single state. Tsallis entropies of the superposed states have extreme values, while that of the single state change monotonously. Further, it is found that the positions of the maxima of the entropies are independent of the entropic index. Around the maxima of the entropies, the ...

Measurement of Coupling PDC photon sources with single-mode and multimode optical fibers

We investigate the coupling efficiency of parametric downconversion light (PDC) into single and multi-mode optical fibers as a function of the pump beam diameter, crystal length and walk-off. We outline two different theoretical models for the preparation and collection of either single-mode or multi-mode PDC light (defined by, for instance, multi-mode fibers or apertures, corresponding to buck...

Constrained MaxLik reconstruction of multimode photon distributions

We address the reconstruction of the full photon distribution of multimode fields generated by seeded parametric down-conversion (PDC). Our scheme is based on on/off avalanche photodetection assisted by maximum-likelihood (MaxLik) estimation and does not involve photon counting. We present a novel constrained MaxLik method that incorporates the request of finite energy to improve the rate of co...
