It has been shown that entanglement distillation of Gaussian entangled states by means of local photon subtraction can be improved by local Gaussian transformations. Here we show that a similar effect can be expected for the distillation of…
We present a detailed theoretical analysis for the distillation of one copy of a mixed two-mode continuous-variable entangled state using beamsplitters and coherent photon-detection techniques, including conventional on-off detectors and…
Photon subtraction can enhance entanglement, which for pure states induces a decrease in the purity of reduced states. In contrast, by analyzing the purities of Gaussian states before and after subtracting a single photon, we prove that the…

We develop a method for generating a more squeezed than single-mode squeezed vacuum (SMSV) state by subtracting 2,4,6 photons from it. In general, the more photons are subtracted, the more gain of the squeezing (more of 3 dB) is observed in…

We present an event-ready procedure that is capable of distilling Gaussian two-mode entangled states from a supply of weakly entangled states that have become mixed in a decoherence process. This procedure relies on passive optical elements…

Squeezed states of light enable quantum-enhanced measurements but are limited by optical loss, particularly at 2 um where photodiode efficiency is low. We report the first loss-tolerant, audio-band squeezed light detection at 1984 nm by…
We experimentally demonstrate entanglement distillation of the two mode squeezed state. Applying the annihilation operator to both modes, we increase the fraction of the two-photon component in the state, resulting in the increase of both…
According to quantum theory the interactions between physical systems are quantized. As a direct consequence, measurement sensitivities are fundamentally limited by quantization noise, or just `quantum noise' in short. Furthermore,…
