Noncommutativity of states and observables is a fundamental signature of quantum theory, and a minimal requirement for nonclassicality. We provide a universal necessary and sufficient condition for pairwise commutativity of quantum states…

A certain class of parametric down-conversion Bell type experiments has the following features. In the idealized perfect situation it is in only 50% of cases that each observer receives a photon; in the other 50% of cases one observer…

We introduce schemes for linear-optical quantum state generation. A quantum state generator is a device that prepares a desired quantum state using product inputs from photon sources, linear-optical networks, and postselection using photon…

We predict that all-optically reconfigurable generation of photon pairs with tailored spatial entanglement can be realized via spontaneous parametric down-conversion in integrated nonlinear coupled waveguides. The required elements of the…

Pure states are very important in any theory since they represent states of maximal information about the system within the theory. Here, we show that no non-trivial (not local realistic) extremal states (boxes) of general no-signaling…

We propose a scheme to implement a single-mode quantum filter, which selectively eliminates the one-photon state in a quantum state $\alpha|0>+\beta|1>+\gamma|2>$. The vacuum state and the two photon state are transmitted without any…
