Non-classicality criteria for N-dimensional optical fields detected by quadratic detectors

Quantum Physics 2022-07-06 v1

Abstract

Non-classicality criteria for general N-dimensional optical fields are derived. They involve intensity moments, the probabilities of photon-number distributions or combinations of both. The Hillery criteria for the sums of the probabilities of even or odd photon numbers are generalized to N-dimensional fields. As an example, the derived non-classicality criteria are applied to an experimental 3-mode optical field containing two types of photon-pair contributions. The accompanying non-classicality depths are used to mutually compare their performance.
