Entropic nonclassicality and quantum non-Gaussianity tests via beam splitting

Abstract: We propose entropic nonclassicality criteria for quantum states of light that can be readily tested using homodyne detection with beam splitting operation. Our method draws on the fact that the entropy of quadrature distributions for a classical state is non-increasing under an arbitrary loss channel. We show that our test is strictly stronger than the variance-based squeezing condition and that it can also be extended to detect quantum non-Gaussianity in conjunction with phase randomization. Furthermore, we a… Show more

“…If the following condition is satisfied for a single-mode quantum state , it signifies that is quantum non-Gaussian: where denotes the phase-randomization, represents the loss channels with the effective transmittance , and is the mean photon number of . We can derive Equation ( 29 ) by reformulating the quantum non-Gaussianity condition in [ 58 ]: Starting from the fact that the reference Gaussian state of is a thermal state with mean photon number , it is straightforward to derive and , which yields It signifies that a sufficiently large decrease in under a loss channel is only possible for quantum non-Gaussian states.…”

“…The quantum non-Gaussianity measures have been proposed by using the Wigner logarithmic negativity [ 48 , 49 ], quantum relative entropy [ 50 ], stellar representation [ 51 ], and robustness [ 52 ]. Additionally, quantum non-Gaussianity witnesses have been theoretically proposed [ 47 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 ] and experimentally demonstrated [ 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 ] to certify quantum non-Gaussianity efficiently. Here, our main interest is in non-Gaussianity measures that characterize the difference between a quantum state and its reference Gaussian state.…”

“…To our knowledge, even though some works [43,47,48] have already been carried out on obtaining SMNc conditions from two-mode entanglement criteria, the following important treatments/demonstrations are absent in the literature. Obtaining the matrix forms for a (i, ii) measure/condition in terms of â 2 and â † â and carrying out an optimization for (i, ii) SMNc measure/condition, measurement of the nonclassicality of, e.g.…”
