Much of the richness in nature arises due to the connection between classical and quantum mechanics. In advanced science, the tools of quantum mechanics was not only applied in microscopic description but also found its efficacy in…
We have created heralded coherent state superpositions (CSS), by subtracting up to three photons from a pulse of squeezed vacuum light. To produce such CSSs at a sufficient rate, we used our high-efficiency photon-number-resolving…
A sufficient condition for a state |\psi> to minimize the Robertson-Schr\"{o}dinger uncertainty relation for two observables A and B is obtained which for A with no discrete spectrum is also a necessary one. Such states, called generalized…
We construct a distinct class of nonlinear displaced Kerr state by application of the displacement operator upon a state which is prepared by sending the well-known photon-added coherent state through a normal Kerr medium. A sketch for the…
Squeezed states of light are one of the most important fundamental resources for quantum optics, optical quantum information processing and quantum sensing. Recently, it has been experimentally demonstrated that the squeezing of single-mode…
We investigate the quantum properties of superpositions of oppositely squeezed states, which can be regarded as Schrodinger cat states. Compared with conventional coherent-state cat states, these states exhibit distinct photon-number…
We describe a family of coherent states and an associated resolution of the identity for a quantum particle whose classical configuration space is the d-dimensional sphere S^d. The coherent states are labeled by points in the associated…
We theoretically study the effect of quantum statistics of the light field on the quantum enhancement of parameter estimation based on cat state input the SU(1,1) interferometer. The phase sensitivity is dependent on the relative phase…
We revisit electromagnetic field propagation through tight-binding arrays of coupled photonic waveguides, with properties independent of the propagation distance, and recast it as a symmetry problem. We focus our analysis on photonic…

We develop a formalism to describe squeezed light with large spectral-temporal correlations. This description is valid in all regimes, but is especially applicable in the long pulse to continuous-wave limit where the photon density at any…
Displaced Fock states of the electromagnetic field have been synthesized by overlapping the pulsed optical single-photon Fock state |1> with coherent states on a high-reflection beamsplitter and completely characterized by means of quantum…
We derive a lower bound for the Wehrl entropy in the setting of SU(1,1). For asymptotically high values of the quantum number k, this bound coincides with the analogue of the Lieb-Wehrl conjecture for SU(1,1) coherent states. The bound on…
From a new class of q-deformed coherent states we introduce a generalization of the Euler probability distribution for which the main statistical parameters are obtained explicitly. As application, we discuss the corresponding photon…
In recent years, distributed quantum sensing has gained interest for a range of applications requiring networks of sensors, from global-scale clock synchronization to high energy physics. In particular, a network of entangled sensors can…
Quantum light generated in non-degenerate squeezers has many applications such as sub-shot-noise transmission measurements to maximise the information extracted by one photon or quantum illumination to increase the probability in target…
The Wigner function of the compass state (a superposition of four coherent states) develops phase-space structures of dimension much less than the Planck scale, which are crucial in determining the sensitivity of these states to phase-space…
We consider the problem of the measurement of very small displacements in the transverse plane of an optical image with a split photodetector. We show that the standard quantum limit for such a measurement, which is equal to the diffraction…
This work can be considered as a continuation of our previous one (J.Phys., 26 (1993) 313), in which an explicit form of coherent states (CS) for all SU(N) groups was constructed by means of representations on polynomials. Here we extend…
We present the reconstruction of the Wigner function of a classical phase-sensitive state, a pulsed coherent state, by measurements of the distributions of detected-photons of the state displaced by a coherent probe field. By using a hybrid…
