We address nonclassicality of hybrid coherent states (HCS), i.e. states expressed as superpositions of coherent states and single-photon-added coherent (SPAC) state. In particular, we evaluate their photon statistics, squeezing, and…

The AAV effect is the well-known phenomenon where a weak measurement followed by post-selection leads to a pointer shift proportional to the weak value of the measured observable. The effect is usually derived by considering a perturbative…

It was at the dawn of the historical developments of quantum mechanics when Schr\"odinger, Kennard and Darwin proposed an interesting type of Gaussian wave packets, which do not spread out while evolving in time. Originally, these wave…

We observe a metrological advantage in phase-space sensitivity for photon-added cat and kitten states over their original forms, due to phase-space broadening from increased amplitude via photon addition, albeit with higher energy cost.…
