The aim of this work is to answer the question of how much quantum coherence a beam splitter is able to produce. To this end we consider as the variables under study both the amount of coherence of the input states as well as the beam…
How to manage coherence as a continuous variable quantum resource is still an open question. We face this situation from the very definition of incoherent states in quadrature basis. We apply several measures of coherence for some physical…

Quantum coherence, the ability of a quantum system to be in a superposition of orthogonal quantum states, is a distinct feature of the quantum mechanics, thus marking a deviation from classical physics. Coherence finds its applications in…
Attenuating a quantum state using a beam splitter will introduce noise and decoherence. Here we show that heralding techniques can be used to attenuate Schr\"odinger cat states and squeezed vacuum states without any noise or decoherence…
Quantum coherence quantifies the amount of superposition in a quantum system, and is the reason and resource behind several phenomena and technologies. It depends on the natural basis in which the quantum state of the system is expressed,…
We examine the behavior of quadrature coherence under the measurement of the same field quadrature. This is carried out with the help of a beam splitter, which implies the contribution of an auxiliary field state impinging at the other…
The coherence of an individual quantum state can be meaningfully discussed only when referring to a preferred basis. This arbitrariness can however be lifted when considering sets of quantum states. Here we introduce the concept of set…
On the example of a quantum oscillator the connection of the dynamical coherent state with the phase symmetry breaking and the existence of the nondissipative motion is considered. In multiparticle systems of interacting particles similar…
The perturbative consistency of coherent states within interacting quantum field theory requires them to be altered beyond the simple non-squeezed form. Building on this point, we perform explicit construction of consistent squeezed…

Precision spectroscopy of solid-state systems is challenging due to inhomogeneous broadening. We describe a technique -- coherent quantum beats -- that enables the measurement of small frequency shifts within an inhomogeneously broadened…
The emerging quantum technologies rely on our ability to establish and control quantum systems in nonclassical states, exhibiting entanglement and quantum coherence. It is thus crucial to understand how entanglement and coherence can be…
Coherent beam combining refers to the process of generating a bright output beam by merging independent input beams with locked relative phases. We report the first quantum mechanical noise limit calculations for coherent beam combining and…
The Morse potential is relatively closed to the harmonic oscillator quantum system. Thus, following the idea used for the latter, we study the possibility of creating entanglement using squeezed coherent states of the Morse potential as an…
In general, a pair of uncorrelated Gaussian states mixed in a beam splitter produces a correlated state at the output. However, when the inputs are identical Gaussian states the output state is equal to the input, and no correlations…
Quantum coherence, a basic feature of quantum mechanics residing in superpositions of quantum states, is a resource for quantum information processing. Coherence emerges in a fundamentally different way for nonidentical and identical…
Unspeakable coherence is a key feature separating quantum and classical physics. Modelled as asymmetry with respect to a continuous transformation generated by a physically relevant observable, such as the Hamiltonian or angular moment,…
Coherent quantum optics, where the interaction of a photon with an emitter does not scramble phase coherence, lies at the heart of many quantum optical effects and emerging technologies. Solid-state emitters coupled to nanophotonic…
