Abstract

Quantum non-Gaussian states of traveling light fields are crucial components of quantum information processing protocols; however, their preparation is experimentally challenging. In this paper, we discuss the minimal requirements imposed on the quantum efficiency of photon number resolving detectors and the quality of the squeezing operation in an experimental realization of certifiable quantum non-Gaussian states of individual photonic states with three, four, and five photons.
