We employ the quantum state of a single photon entangled with the vacuum (|1,0>-|0,1>), generated by a photon incident upon a symmetric beam splitter, to teleport single-mode quantum states of light by means of the Bennett protocol.…
We demonstrate the reversible mapping of a coherent state of light with mean photon number n-bar ~= 1.1 to and from the hyperfine states of an atom trapped within the mode of a high finesse optical cavity. The coherence of the basic…
The standard claim that the Schr\"odinger and Heisenberg pictures of quantum mechanics are equivalent rests on the fact that they yield identical empirical predictions. This equivalence therefore assumes the instrumentalist worldview in…

Distributing entangled photon pairs over noisy channels is an important task for various quantum information protocols. Encoding an entangled state in a decoherence-free subspace (DFS) formed by multiple photons is a promising way to…
When used with coherent light, optical imaging systems, even diffraction-limited, are inherently unable to reproduce both the amplitude and the phase of a two-dimensional field distribution because their impulse response function varies…
This paper proposes a scheme for teleporting an arbitrary coherent superposition state of two equal-amplitude and opposite-phase squeezed vacuum states (SVS) via a symmetric 50/50 beam splitter and photodetectors. It is shown that the…
In a recent paper [Phys.~Rev.~A {\bf 91}, 053844 (2015)], Mukamel and Dorfman compare spectroscopies performed with classical vs.~quantum light, and conclude that \textit{nonlinear} quantum-spectroscopy signals cannot be obtained from…
The notion of complexity of quantum states is quite different from uncertainty or information contents, and involves the tradeoff between its classical and quantum features. In this work, we we introduce a quantifier of complexity of…
Superposition of optical coherent states $\left|\pm\alpha\right\rangle$, possessing opposite phases, play an important role as qubits in quantum information processing (QIP) tasks and are of fundamental importance in testing quantum…
Coherent states, being the closest analog to classical states of wave systems, are well known to possess special properties that set them apart from most other quantum optical states. For example, they are robust against photon loss and do…

Defining a computational basis of pseudo-number states, we interpret a coherent state of large amplitude, $|\alpha|\gg\frac{d}{2\pi}$, as a qudit --- a $d$-level quantum system --- in a state that is an even superposition of $d$…
Optical coherent states are classical light fields with high purity, and are essential carriers of information in optical networks. If these states could be controlled in the quantum regime, allowing for their quantum superposition…
