Conditional superpositions of Gaussian operations on different modes of light
Kimin Park, Petr Marek, Radim Filip · Physical Review A · 2015
We propose a conditional implementation of superpositions of Gaussian operations on different modes of light. These operations are conditional entanglers generating non-Gaussian entanglement between two modes of propagating light beams. The all-optical operations emulate weak effects of highly nonlinear operations only available when light interacts with individual atoms. In particular, we propose schemes to implement superposition of coherent displacements and squeezings on two beams of light and discuss physical properties of generated non-Gaussian entanglement. These methods together with high quality of optical tomography of highly nonclassical states allow one to understand non-Gaussian entangling processes.
