Non-Gaussian states, and specifically the paradigmatic Schr\"odinger cat state, are well-known to be very sensitive to losses. When propagating through damping channels, these states quickly loose their non-classical features and the…

Decoherence remains one of the most serious challenges to the implementation of quantum technology. It appears as a result of the transformation over time of a quantum superposition state into a classical mixture due to the quantum system…
Almost all novel observable phenomena in quantum optics are related to the quantum coherence. The coherence here is determined by the relative phase inside a state. Unfortunately, so far all the relevant experimental results in quantum…
