Experimental test of quantum non-Gaussianity of heralded single photon state

Quantum Physics 2011-11-16 v1

Abstract

We report on experimental verification of quantum non-Gaussianity of a heralded single photon state with positive Wigner function. We unambiguously demonstrate that the generated state cannot be expressed as a mixture of Gaussian states. A sufficient information to witness the quantum non-Gaussianity is obtained from a standard photon anti-correlation measurement.
